>>213535139He was an old school politician, all those guys dealt with crooks and criminals (because they were one too), they didn't had to really deal with people at daily basis like politicians do nowadays, at best they would give speechs from afar, talk in the radio or write pieces for newspapers expressing his opinions. Suddenly he must appear on TV against pretty boy Kennedy, that changed the whole dynamic of politics, no wonder they elect a legit actor (Reagan) a few years later, now what we have are basic talking heads pretending to be leaders while in front of cameras while people like Nixon that are not pretty enough run the show.
