They were both smart, but I give Nixon the edge over Kennedy. Just my opinion.
Judge for yourself in the 1960 Nixon-Kennedy presidential debate:

I think Cruz is smarter than Nixon was. He's also much more likeable. Nixon could be creepy. If Cruz has a creepy side, I haven't seen it.
HE doesn’t come off creepy to me AT ALL.
that’s media @#$@#$.
and Thanks! I never thought of watching old debates. Should be incredible. I was -4 at the time? born in ‘68.
As soon as my slightly better half goes to bed, i’ll watch it :)
