"I'm not running for Vice-President; I'm running for President!", bellowed JFK. He was irate; he was very irate. He, and the other candidates for the November 8, 1960 Presidential Election, would be a huge turnout for votes, (and TV debates).
He had had enough trash talking from US President Dwight D. Eisenhower; he had enough. The brutal truth was that JFK knew that, given the facts before him, he was a Roman Catholic; he wasn't Protestant. His Irish blood coursed through him in anger. He, and The Kennedy's were immigrants; The Kennedy's weren't true Americans in some peoples' eyes. They were "Non-Americans". But, because of the potato famine in Ireland in the 19th century, the early Kennedys left Ireland and travelled to America so that they could have a better life.

And, as the poiliticians made their plays for The Presidency, some would succeed; some would fall; and some would disappear altogether from the American political landscape.
