      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 …

      2. Prof. Kruse argues that JFK was a liberal, not a conservative, in the terms of our own day. This is a false dichotomy; he wasn't Goldwater, but he was a conservative Democrat on many issues by the standards of his day, and would be off the far right end of today's Democrats.

      3. I do not claim JFK as a movement conservative. As @KevinMKruse notes, he believed many things the Goldwater/National Review Republicans rejected then, & continue to criticize now. JFK was more John Kasich than Joe Lieberman. In today's terms, a centrist, not a liberal.

      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/ …

          6. Consider *why* JFK needed to give a campaign speech defining himself as a liberal: he needed to secure his base after a divisive primary. As @IraStoll notes, he had often been identified as a conservative by fellow Democrats before 1960.pic.twitter.com/m8jvvYnF97

          7. And *listen* to that speech! JFK denies being "someone who is soft in his policies abroad, who is against local government, and who is unconcerned with the taxpayer's dollar, then the record of this party and its members demonstrate that we are not that kind of 'Liberal.'"

          Replying to @baseballcrank @KevinMKruse

          So we can conclude from this (and some of his other threads I’ve read) that @KevinMKruse is as much a partisan than historian. Wish he’d be more forthcoming. Those of us who read what he’s presented in this medium already know that though.
