In 1960, John F. Kennedy rode a superior televised debate performance to victory over Richard Nixon.

John Kennedy won the first televised presidential debate among those watching it, while Richard Nixon won among those listening on the radio.

Nobody understood how to use television for his own purposes better than Nixon, despite his poor showing against John F. Kennedy in the televised presidential debate.

The essence of Richard Nixon is loneliness.

He’s [Nixon] like a Spanish horse, who runs faster than anyone for the first nine lengths and then turns around and runs backwards. You’ll see; he’ll do something wrong in the end. He always does.

Avoid all needle drugs — the only dope worth shooting is Richard Nixon.
