Nixon was, however, not the least bit “glamorous†or “debonair†— and I think it was probably JFK’s having this latter quality that gave Dems the edge in the 1960 election, plus a little vote-counting help from Mayor Daley’s machine in Chicago and the LBJ-owned local officials in south Texas.
The liberals consistently choose “style” over “substance.”
>> The liberals consistently choose “style†over “substance.†<<
Agreed completely.
But I think it’s not only the liberals, because a substantial percentage of so-called conservatives are now supporting a TV “reality show” actor — with support that seems mostly based upon the candidate’s well-honed style of firing people on a fictional TV show and upon his actor’s ability to feign outrage when anybody asks him tough questions. I say the guy is about 90% style and maybe about 10% substance.
