LOL!  I don't think the people could have stood him, but that hasn't
stopped many of our presidents either did it?  And nobody would have cared
how he looked on t.v. because there wasn't any yet.  Sounds like he would
have had a chance in today's world except for the fact that he preferred
freedom to government nannies.

Best wishes,
