It is a contradiction of terms to mention JFK and Hillary Clinton in the same breath or sentence.
JFK made the country feel good about being an American and his vision of the future brought different socioeconomic groups together who believed in his uplifting oratory and promise for a better America.
Hillary Clinton only vision is in the rear view mirror of her husband's accomplishments and no

regrets or insight into her failures or pandering just for the possibility of gaining votes.
JFK made his mistakes as president but the country still stood behind him through thick and thin.
Then we lost him in Dallas.
If Hillary Clinton lost her senate seat or her attempt to become president it wouldn't be that great of a loss.
The best and the brightest during the JFK years. History will not be that kind to Hillary.
It would be fascinating to go back and have an election with JFK and Hillary to see what approach
she would take in trying to attack Kennedy's policies if she would use her surrogates to use the
Catholic card to hurt his chances of being elected and how effective she would have been in a debate. Her cold, calculating approach would have been buried by John's positive message and
honesty.
Of course we'll never know but can only surmise the outcome.
The ultimate outcome when historians write about these to public figures years from now will
frame their analysis on what transpired during these different periods.
Hillary could become the first female president. Odds are today this may just be a pipe - dream on her part.
JFK's dream for the country almost came true. Hillary's nightmare will never enter our dreams.
