1. This thread by Prof. @KevinMKruse unfortunately presents a misleading & oversimplified history of John F. Kennedy & his presidency. Let's dig in and explore why, moving from the general to specifics. https://twitter.com/KevinMKruse/status/1104826912445206529 …

4. The fact that JFK - like every president ever - had both partisan & extremist critics in the other party proves nothing. These are the same people who thought Ike was a Communist & were blood feuding with Bill Buckley. https://twitter.com/KevinMKruse/status/1104826921513353217 …

5. Ira Stoll argues, in this column & listicle & his book, that JFK was a conservative. That's a stretch & some of his examples are as trolly as Prof. Kruse's, but he notes some important ways in which JFK was really not liberal. https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/irastoll/21-ways-jfk-was-actually-a-conservative-fjkq …http://ideas.time.com/2013/10/14/jfk-was-a-political-conservative/ …

John Kasich isn't a centrist. He's positioned himself somewhat left of his party which is leaning HARD right, but he's not near the center of the ideological range. He also PASSES for reasonable for rejecting the nightmare that is president. Posturing for another run at the WH.

Kasich is actually center-left.
