JFK made him "sick" so that won't work. geek tragedy Apr 2016 #5

what made him 'sick' was JFK's stance on Cuba and that was it period azurnoir Apr 2016 #61

Castro supporters were not fans of JFK, so you're confirming my point nt geek tragedy Apr 2016 #75

Bernie liked JFK on his other stances especially civil rights in the US it was JFK's Cuba stance azurnoir Apr 2016 #92
