I come from a large Irish family, grandparents from County Galway and County Clare. In 1963, I was two, three months younger than John-John. JFK came to El Paso, TX, my hometown during his trip to Texas. My mother took me to the airport to be part of the crowd greeting him. On November 22nd, my parents' wedding anniversary, she and I were at Sears downtown El Paso, when the announcement came over the loudspeaker. Of course, I don't remember it but I know my mother must have been inconsolable. In 1968, I was 7 and my baby sister had just been born when RFK was assassinated.
My enitre family were old school democrats; steel mill workers in Pittsburgh, railroad workers, firemen and military. The old ones are all gone now.
Their children and grandchildren became Trump supporters when he announced his run. In my family, I was the only republican, and I also became a staunch Trumpster. I thought I knew what the GOP was. Since 2016, I've been learning who they truly are and what a JFK Democrat was, and now IS!
