ForReal, When in quicksand don't struggle. How the hell you can support the mugs demeaning, undermining and obstructing the Mueller investigation is beyond me. How you can be one of them says a helluva lot more about you than you can say about any Democrat.
ForReal, The right’s JFK myth: Now they claim he was conservative
"Do you really think JFK would stand a snow ball's chance in hell of even winning a Democratic Primary in today's Democratic Party? He would more likely win more Republican Primaries than Democratic"
Your myth started with Reagan who used JFK as a campaign tool. Guessing you read your JFK too conservative for Dems today somewhere and didn't actually check it out. Yet more to consider during your short vacation.
To capitalize on President Kennedy’s record popularity, the GOP is now embracing him. Here’s why that’s ludicrous

The claim that JFK was a conservative Republican is full of contradictions. Take, for example, Reagan’s claim that JFK was a supply-sider.
First of all, it was Lyndon Johnson — not Kennedy — who actually passed the early 1960s tax cuts. And there were significant differences between Reagan’s and “Kennedy’s” tax cuts. When Kennedy proposed to cut marginal rates from 91 to 70 percent, most business leaders were opposed.
Furthermore, Kennedy’s goal was a Keynesian demand-side cut: He wanted to create a deficit in order to assist the economy by putting money in the hands of middle- and working-class consumers. Reagan’s tax policy, a supply-side cut, aimed to raise revenue and reduce the deficit; he wanted to put more money in the hands of business leaders and the wealthy in order to spur investment.
Finally, Kennedy’s ultimate plan was to use government spending to increase purchasing power, the opposite of what Reagan wanted. As Kennedy told his economic adviser, “First we’ll get your tax cut, and then we’ll get my expenditure program.”

As the late historian and Kennedy aide Arthur M. Schlesinger Jr. told me in an interview, “Kennedy believed in the government. He did not believe government was ‘the problem.’”
Indeed, let us not forget that Kennedy began the Peace Corps, wanted government to play a larger role in solving domestic problems, and — though he came late to the issue — spoke out in favor of civil rights more than any other president since the Civil War.
President Kennedy also inspired an entire generation of future liberal politicians, and he became more liberal as his presidency evolved.
