It's not surprising that a guy who was in his early 20's when JFK was a candidate and then president, who had an interest in government and history, and who grew up in a Democratic family was inspired by Kennedy the politician, and Kennedy the leader. His martyrdom made that more acute for many Americans. Whether they "wanted to be" JFK or wanted to make one's own mark in their own time is probably known by each individual. Gary Hart was inspired, like Bill Clinton, Joe Biden, John Kerry and other young Democrats. They might all have liked to have "nice hair and teeth, a pretty wife, wit and intellect and charm and charisma", etc., right out of central casting as such. But Hart wasn't an actor, portraying the late president. He studied hard, he learned politics, he got himself elected, and he was a very effective U.S. Senator. He was an excellent candidate. The fact that he wasn't nominated in 1984, but especially not in 1988, was I believe America's loss.
@@armysaber every Democrat up until 1992 copied many of the mannerisms of John F Kennedy including that slimeball Bill Clinton. In fact Gary Hart didn't like the comparison between himself and John F Kennedy that was press made up. Unfortunately for Gary Hart, he was slowly becoming a moderate any party that was continuously going left. Walter Mondale unfortunately had a significant amount of endorsements from labor and other special interest groups. Of course Mando would go on to lose 49 states and 58 percent of the vote. I believe today Gary Hart is a registered independent leaning more right than left now, obviously he saw the light. TS seen the not only to the left of the democratic party but the tilt to socialism in a Democratic party..
The best democrat to run in the modern era. Extremely intelligent and too bad, he screwed up in a different time.
If he was still in congress would he follow the foot steps of today’s democrat party and Chuck Schumer?
A JFK wannabe. Copied all the mannerisms.
