JFK was extremely intentional about how he projected himself to the public (classic example is the first televised 1960 debate).
He knew to wear makeup on camera, he knew not to wear a watch while speaking publicly, he knew that a leader in a giant overcoat evokes memories of military dictators, he knew not to wear a top hat etc….
This man would have crushed it with social media if he were around now.

The average age of the Senate is 65.3. I was hoping the cold weather would open up some Senate seats.
