During the entire campaign, both primary and general election, I haven't
heard the subject of the JFK assassination come up even once. IOW, it's
not something very many people are at all concerned about. If they were,
the candidates would be talking about it. The subject briefly came up in
2016 when Trump insinuated that Ted Cruz's father might somehow have been
involved. It was a silly ploy and totally unnecessary as Trump was
cruising to the nomination. Other than that, the last time I saw the
subject come up in a presidential race was John Kerry in 2004 mentioning
in passing that he thought there was a conspiracy to kill JFK but did not
elaborate. Gore mentioned it briefly as well in 2000. There are really
important issues in the 2020 election and the assassination of JFK is not
one of them.

Presidential elections are clown show PR campaigns put on by grifters
vying for the lucrative position of representing the ruling elite to the
peons. Grifter Trump saw an opportunity with Cruz, and took it.
Opportunity made the JFK assassination an election issue. Such
opportunities have not arisen in this campaign. But you missed John
McCain's reference to the "intervention" in Dallas? The most recent
prominent reference I noticed was Chuck Schumer's 6 Ways From Sunday
comment made when he was talking to the Mad Russiagator, Rachel Maddow.
The More the assassination becomes "history," the less opportunity it
presents to the grifters.

I automatically think less of someone who expresses such sentiments.
Seeing someone who can be so successful being so clueless helps keep
things in perspective when viewing the people who run things.

I think the myth that we send our best and brightest people to Washington
grew out of the Camelot years of the Kennedy administration. It was myth
then and it remains so today. Occasionally we do send bright people to
Washington but they are the exceptions. A lot of people became congressmen
who sucked at everything else they did in life. As might be expected, they
suck at governing too.

That is a stretch even by your standards. Based on what I know about John's
political philosophy, I'm guessing he prefers Trump over Harris. Excuse me.
Biden. It is absurd to think that the reason he deletes your messages is
because he want to help Trump get elected. Just how many people do you think
even read these messages on a regular basis. Maybe 100, tops. How many do
you think would have their vote for president influenced by what they read
here.
Probably less than one.

What politician would bother? Obama played the JFK card in 2008, even
enlisting Caroline and Ted to endorse him. I thought he should have called
himself Black Jack Obama. Today's Democrats don't want to tie themselves
to the JFK. He was far too conservative for the radical left who are
running the party. JFK was for lower taxes. Democrats want to raise taxes.
JFK was a Life Member of the NRA. Democrats now hate the NRA. JFK was
staunchly anti-communist. Marxists are now in the driver's seat in the
Democrat Party. JFK did not publicly weigh in on the issue of abortion but
his only SCOTUS appointee at the time of Roe v. Wade was one two
dissenters. No one can run for office as a Democrat these days without
being staunchly pro-life. One has to wonder if JFK were born 50 years
later than he was if he would modify his political beliefs to conform to
current Democrat dogma or if he would become a Republican instead.

Trump released mot of the remaining sealed documents. He put a hold on a
few.
