Question

I know she has an ego but I think is over the top.

To go back as far as JFK for example of democrat president tells me something about the last ones who made it into office.

Answer 1

She is not even close to being in a league with JFK. JFK valued the debate with the other party and knew he needed them. Hillary's idea of bipartisanship is everyone agree with her. JFK's policy of strong defense, reduced taxes, and sometimes going it alone internationally are seen as evil by his party now. He was a good president who had the courage to buck his party when needed.

Answer 2

According to your source Hillary said this about JFK:

"He was smart, he was dynamic, he was inspiring and he was Catholic. But those who gathered here (N.H.) almost a half century ago knew better, "They believed America was bigger than that and Americans would give Sen. John F. Kennedy a fair shake, and the rest, as they say, is history.

"Hillary would never compare herself to JFK. America loved JFK and was not ready for a Catholic at that time of our history. Hillary was stressing you can be anything you want in America if you have the ambition. I thought her speech was inspiring.

Answer 3

She is more like Bonnie Parker. Her husband (Clyde Barrow)::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::THIS WILL OPEN YOUR EYES by Paul Harvey

NO, SAD TO SAY, THERE IS NO POLITICIAN ON THE LEFT THAT SHOULD BE MENTIONED IN THE SAME BREATH WITH JFK.

Answer 4

I think someone has a problem with reading comprehension. She didn't compare herself with JFK. She compared the similarities of the campaign difficulties. They worried that he couldn't be elected because he was Catholic. Some worry she can't be elected because she is a woman. That's the only comparison made, why would you want to make it sound like she's comparing JFK's greatness to her own? She didn't.

This link goes to the debunking of "justthefacts" continued posting of lies about Paul Harvey and Clinton. Guess facts don't really matter to this poster.

Answer 5

No. Even though there have been rumors to the contrary, I don't think she is half the man that JFK was.

Answer 6

No one will nor has ever, so far, come close to JFK.

Answer 7

No, Hillary is more like Hitler. Look at the laws Adolph passed in Nazi Germany and you'll see Hillary towing the Nazi agenda here in the United States.
