  1. Lbj wanted to be president, and he got it.

  2. They still have not explained who killed him.

  3. His assassination changed politics for the worst. I believe the corruption would have been less if he was able to fulfill his two terms. He would have been reelected for a second term easily. He was ruffling the wrong feathers in politics and the kkk. The hit was done by the klan not Oswald he was a patsy in this conspiracy. The three letters have the evidence and proof the kkk is the guilty party

  4. Thank you for the video of soon to be President Kennedy. I enjoyed it

  5. They feared him because he actually was a leader wanted to unite people unlike Nixon who was a divider, corrupt and racist.

  6. What an amazing response.
    “We’re not voting for some rough tough gunfighter, we’re voting for president of the united states”.
    We don’t need some tough guy to go out and bully the world to stroke our egos as Americans, we need a professional leader who will MANAGE America’s relations with our allies and enemies alike.
    Trump undid like 40 years of economic relations from both parties to satisfy a tiny portion of our population and now that we’ve had the worst of the worst on the right we’ve settled for a geriatric puppet on the left.

  7. Many youngsters may not know, that some people worried about JFK being Catholic and a Catholic take over. Nixon and his cronies tried to smear JFK with bigotry. We all know what happened to Nixon. Let's not repeat history with tRump.
