Um... what? Nixon almost certainly would not be a Democrat.

If he had the political views he had in the 1970s, he'd be some sort of an authoritarian Lieberman-esque Democrat. Of course were Nixon alive to-day he might "adjust" some of his views as is the case in TNF's model.

Cleveland and JFK would be GOP'rs today. In fact they'd be Tea Partiers. It's sad many on the left think JFK would stand with them. The guy was a fiscal hawk who believed in sound currency (unlike the left of today).

JFK would definitely be a Democrat, although he'd be a moderate or conservative one, as he was in the 1960s. I agree with you that a liberal or left-wing JFK is wishful thinking on the part of today's progressives, but there's no way he'd be a Republican. I could see him as a Cuomo-Clinton type Democrat, though.

Only because his dad was a Democrat.

If anything JFK was to the left of his father. I don't understand why some right-wingers are so desperate to claim JFK has their own.

Same reasons Dems are claiming Lincoln and TR

Except TR actually had views on economics that were far more "progressive" than even the most moderate Republican would claim to-day.
