JFK was a privileged socialite who became President because Joe Senior was a succesful boot legger. His brother, Joe Junior, was supposed to run but he was killed in WWII. He may have saved the world from WWIII, but how in the Hell did we get so close in the first place? His biggest success, however, was a natural speaking ability, ease in front of a camera and "good boy" good looks that all women fell for.

What's so hilarious about this debate is how much JFK is expressing what would have been Trump talking points in 1960. Makes me think that if JFK were running in 2024 he'd bravely point out how the voodoo people were eating the cats.

I was too young in 1960 to appreciate the quality of our presidential candidates. How they discussed issues, were respectful to each other. We were better than what we see today. We wouldn't have even put a microphone in front of such people as a Donald Trump, spitting out lies, spreading misinformation, attacking anyone who dares to oppose him. Spreading hate, dividing our country for his own benefit. It's such a shame, that in just 64 years from this debate, we are we are in danger of losing our Democracy. God help us!

I think people have become quite desensitized these days in certain regards. Priorities have changed and perhaps there is lesser emphasis on actually doing research about policies and more so on mindlessly believeing things seen on social media. Also, sadly, entertainment sells.. It can be nice to revisit the past sometimes and perhaps reflect a little.

Interestingly, people who watched this very first televised debate said Kennedy won. They liked the clean-cut look that Kennedy portrayed. They didn't like Nixon's five o'clock shadow look. But people who listened to it on radio said Nixon won. They said Nixon sounded more intelligent. They didn't like Kennedy's New England accent. That was when those in charge of TV realized the power of TV.

I was six years old in 1960 and this is about the third time I watched this Debate. At the 6;48 mark, JKF says he "wants the people in South America and Africa to look at the United States and what the United States is doing and not look at Khruschev and China". Recently, the Chinese President offered about 50 African Nations loans and grants of $50 Billion over three years, to finance things like Railways. In the USA, some people think that Foreign Aid comprises 30% or 50% of our Budget, which is untrue. We spend about $50 billion on ALL Foreign Aid and it's less than 1% of our over $7,000 Billion Budget.

@rdelrosso1973 Our national defense is nearing a trillion dollars a year. By the end of the decade, it'll be two trillion a year. I'd like to know why the military needs two trillion when nasa gets next to nothing. We can't provide food and housing. Yet the defense contractors and military workers get all of our money. This isn't a Democrat or republican issue it's a national issue.

Changed America, and not for the better. I have read that people who heard the debate on the radio preferred Nixon, while people who watched on TV favored Kennedy. This was because on the radio all that comes across is substance and knowledge, where a TV debate is more of a contest over who is prettier and more stylish and superficially appealing. This victory of style over substance has only gotten worse and worse over the years, until we have arrived at the present day where elections are won and lost over zingers and one-liners, gotcha moments, who has the nicer suit, who has a fly land on his nose during a debate, who looks ridiculous getting into a tank, and whatnot. To me this is not a positive change.

This represents the quality of leadership and candidates in 1960. How in the hell could an intellectually and psYcologically unfit individual like Trump advance so far in US politics today, not to mention Greene, Gaetz, Broebert and other inept MAGA radicals. Clearly, today's politic is dangerously dysfunctional by propelling rather than eliminating unfit candidates.

You talk about Trump in a way that he is unfit when Joe Biden left billions of dollars of military weapons and equipment to al queda in afghanistan and Kamala being the one in charge of the boarder had the highest record of illegal crossing in American history. Not to mention three days after Kamala sits down with Putin, Ukraine gets invaded 3 days later. Under Joe Bidens watch, he could not do anything to deescalate the situation in the middle east and have gotten the entire world currently in the brink of starting ww3. In Trumps presidency there was not a war. He never started any wars at all and no war happened during his 4 years. It is also very ironic that you would consider someone like me a "MAGA radical"... as in Make America Great Again Radical. Of course ill be a radical about making my country greater than ever before. So you think that wanting to make america great again is a radical Idea? How Ironic... also to mention that Robert Kennedy Jr., nephew of the late great JFK(the person in this video) actually endorsed Trump for President tbis upcoming election 2024... I wonder why is that? Maybe because the Kennedy's are also about MAGA. There are intellectuals who think for themselves then there are others who take opinions of others such as opinion news as fact and easily manipulated onto hating others.
