Kennedy has the twin advantages of not being a segregationist and not being literally Richard Nixon, so him.

Nixon. Even though I'm a Democrat, I've never been a Kennedy fan and the Nixon of 1960 wasn't the bitter paranoid Nixon we got in '68.  If Johnson or Humphrey were the Democratic nominee in 60, I'd vote for them over Nixon.

Kennedy. Ike's 2nd term was in need of repudiation, and another term of Ezra Taft Benson or Dulles in the cabinet would've been terrible.

Also, Nixon deserved nothing for his dirty tricks just to get to Senate against Flawless Beautiful Gaghan-Douglas Purple heart Purple heart Purple heart.

This was one of the worst matchups in recent memory, probably not surpassed until Clinton vs Trump. That beitg said, yes, obviously Kennedy is better given that he isn't Richard Nixon.
