Do you believe FDR or JFK could get a nomination given the state of the Democratic Party today? I grew up in a Democrat household and just have to say

Nope. They would be called racists and drummed out if the party. Not liberal enough.

Don't know. Could Theodore Roosevelt get the Republican nomination today?

@Rutterman no way...Teddy was a staunch believer in anti-trust actions and loved nature. Republicans now are monopolist and despise nature.
Rutterman · 46-50, M
@SW-User Yes, he was ahead of his time and a true progressive. Seems to be at odds with where most Republicans are today. My only objection to TR is that he was too jingoistic.

@Rutterman for sure...such a young country and priming it for its future “role.”

JFK would be accused of being right wing today.

You can only get the dim nomination now if you are a left wing crazy

Different times...
I agree..but its time for the obstructionists on both sides of the aisle to hit the road.

@Peterbilt1955 If only that would happen...
Wel...the people spoke when Trump got elected..lets just hope they dont lose their voice. Work for what's good for the country. Not their political party.

Yes, absolutely.
Yes. FDR would probably have great ideas for helping with the homeless problem, reinvigorating New Deal programs. And JFK would probably still be active in Civil Rights issues (although Bobby was his conscience and would likely be more effective).

@RedHead He authored the Civil Rights Act that LBJ signed after his assassination.
