Raise The Dead
Who reminds you of Donald Trump more? John F. Kennedy or Richard Nixon? Keep that thought to yourself for a second as I remind you that JFK and Nixon ran against each other in 1960. A member of a popular two-term administration ran against a phenom running without permission. The race saw a revolutionary use of new media. The side that lost tells anyone who will listen that nefarious outside help tipped the election. This is the story of 1960 and if we'd known more about it we'd have been less surprised when the events replayed themselves in 2016. John F. Kennedy only won one race for the White House and his slogan for that race was "Get American Moving Again" News dies and becomes history, but tonight? We Raise the Dead. Hosted on Acast.

Lyndon Baines Johnson is now the president of the United States. How far will he go to keep it that way.
Thanks to tapes LBJ made of his own phone conversations we get a view into history like we’ve never heard before on Raise The Dead. Power and paranoia on full display. His battles with old nemesis Bobby Kennedy lead a man on the brink of landslide to draft a letter of resignation. All the while, Vietnam lo...
Barry Goldwater and Bernie Sanders are exact opposites. One is the father of Conservatism and the other heralds the modern rise of Democratic Socialism.
Yet beyond their visions for the country, they are almost identical in how their own parties viewed them as dangerous, radical extremists. And more to the point, how hard both worked to kill their campaigns. Barry’s story in 1964 gives us a blueprint of what ...
John F. Kennedy is preparing to run for re-election amongst heightened racial tensions and the defection of support from Southern Democrats. He and his brain trust decide to begin the Kennedy ‘64 campaign in Dallas, TX to show they still intend to be competitive in the Bible Belt.
Meanwhile, Republican support begins pooling around upstart Barry Goldwater despite establishment worries that his brand of infle...

Election day arrives in 1960 and 2016.
In 1960, Richard Nixon is about to begin his journey as humiliated laughing stock to redemption. In 2016, Hillary Clinton hopes she’s at the end of her own eight year odyssey. In 1960, John F. Kennedy waits with his loyal team of family and friends. In 2016, Donald Trump waits with mercenaries who pass out their cards to the press so they can secure work after their curr...
The grueling road to the White House leaves tolls emotional, mental and physical on Richard Nixon and John F. Kennedy.
The misunderstood 1960 televised debates, the role of LBJ in settling the South, Nixon’s meltdown, the Kennedy media brilliance and cold-hearted handling of a pair of famous race issues.
Election Day is nigh. Who will survive to see it?
It’s the 1960 Democratic Convention in Los Angeles. Can the Kennedys pull of the impossible and upset the entire party power structure? What about two-time nominee Adlai Stevenson who just arrived flanked by Kennedy foes Eleanor Roosevelt and Hubert Humphrey? What about the Senate Majority Leader Lyndon Baines Johnson who is certainly the only Democrat the Civil Rights-phobic South would be happy with?
What...
Richard Nixon is about to make the Republicans the party of civil rights and it could cost him his career.
The origin story of the most notorious American politician in modern history eventually sees him facing an insurrection in his own party on the eve of his coronation as their nominee. But before that a poor kid from Southern California has to battle his way to the top of the political food chain.
The Kennedys have a plan, but you have to win first.
They will run in the primaries, thought to be a death trap for serious candidates who normally wait for the convention. They face Hubert Humphrey a progressive slatwart and known quantity in the first contest: Wisconsin.
What’s more? There is a member of Democratic Party royalty who distrusts the family and would love nothing more than to c...
Who did Donald Trump model his 2016 campaign after? Richard Nixon or John F. Kennedy?
As we tell the story of the 1960 election, the answer might surprise you.
The story starts a plan. Old Joe Kennedy’s plan.
His son, the future first Irish Catholic president, is in an airplane about to strike a decisive blow against Hitler in 1944.
His son, the future first Irish Catholic pre...
