There are very good arguments that JFK was unfit for office. I tend to agree with them, despite the fact that the first Irish Catholic prez was literally a martyr growing up in my family. I also agree that many who despise and criticize Orange will defend JFK’s fitness. I do not.
My point is that the situations aren’t similar in that no one knew of Kennedy’s fitness issues as they were occurring, but we all know about those of Orange. This is why the Kennedy situation didn’t set a precedent, like say the Clinton situation did, as we all knew about his fitness issues in real time as well. With JFK, it’s all retrospective.
