Nixon. Nixon of '60 wasn't the bitter, beaten Nixon we got in 1968, we would've avoided the Cuban Missile Crisis and likely Vietnam, and a center right Republican passing Civil Rights means the Country is likely less polarized on race and also means both parties are more diverse racially.

JFK, though I'd probably go back and forth in the weeks heading up to the election.

Nixon without hindsight, JFK with, especially considering the cool factor of being able to say "I voted for JFK."

Nixon clearly was the far safer option, especially with 50 years’ hindsight.

Without hindsight, I would have voted for Nixon because he was more experienced and competent to be president.

With hindsight, JFK because LBJ inherits the presidency.

JFK is vastly overrated, but Nixon was the biggest SOB to inhabit the White House between 1837 and 2017.

I vote Kennedy.

The 1960 Nixon campaign was quite funny in its constant blundering and bad luck: the stupid tactical reasoning behind picking Lodge as VP, Eisenhower bitching about him, Nixon deciding to visit every single state meaning he spent the last weekend before the election in Alaska....
