As a kid, I remember reading Life and Look Magazine about the new Camelot and the youthful president and his family that occupied that white castle. Every woman on the street wore her hair like Jackie.
The Kennedy family was the national portrait of the nation; the youngest man ever to serve as president, rich and with a beautiful wife, and kids, it was almost like a Norman Rockwell painting. Life, Look and Newsweek magazines could report on nothing else.
Gone was the old bald-headed soldier and frumpy wife, FDR, and Trueman was but a memory, and the world had changed in the blink of an eye. The Cold War with Russia was running full speed as was the race for dominance of outer space. We were headed for the moon within the decade; and by damn he kept his word, even though he was not there to share the jubilance. The world was eaten up with The Kennedy family.
Enter 44-year-old Ron and Casey DeSantis and their three beautiful children. You could say “Camelot 2.0” has arrived, but DeSantis is a Republican, as Kennedy probably would have been if he were governing today. I wonder if DeSantis has checked on the availability of the old Kenndey family yacht.?
The Republicans need to huddle and consider this one. Lightning can strike twice and Camelot 2.0 might not be a bad idea.
The current president will soon be cabbage soup and Trump will turn eighty in office, so old does not make one the best candidate. Pelosi will be president within a year, and that was the plan from the get-go.
The poor Republicans are stuck in political Hell and can’t find the ladder.
The Trump-DeSantis issue is a big one. If DeSantis runs, it will get nasty between the two of them. If Trump were to ask DeSantis to be his running mate, they would be seen (falsely, at least in terms of personality) as birds of a feather by independents and leftists, which might hurt the ticket, even though Republican voters would obviously turn up in droves to vote for that ticket. Were DeSantis to wait until 2028, and allow Trump have his potential revenge on the Swamp, there would be some risks involved because a lot can happen between 2024 and 2028. In any event, I like your Kennedy-DeSantis analogy.

Thank you. It was only a thought generated by his family on stage with him on election night. It was like Dejavue.

“Pelosi will be president within a year”
That is an absolute horrific thought.
