Kennedy time

ok Had a crazy thought, so take this list of Presidents and come up with a TL and what America would look like

1938-1949 Joseph P. Kennedy, Sr./Alben W. Barkley(1940-1949)
1949-1953 Thomas E. Dewey/John W. Bricker
1953-1961 Joseph P. Kennedy, Jr./Adlai Stevenson
1961-1969 John F. Kennedy/Lyndon B. Johnson
1969-1977 Robert F. Kennedy/Edmund Muskie
1977-1981 Ronald Reagan/Bob Dole
1981-1989 Ted Kennedy/John Glenn
1989-1997 John Glenn/ Harvey Milk
1997-2001 John McCain/George W. Bush
2001-2009 John F. Kennedy, Jr./Joe Lieberman
2009- Kathleen Kennedy Townsend/Bill Richardson
 
he wasn't at all he lost all possibility for future office when he said that Britain should just surrender to Germany in WW2. Plus this is also assuming that FDR doesn't run because he and Kennedy were good friends and he wouldn't have run against him

I think he's assuming Kennedy being FDR's Vice President and then FDR dying early. I don't know how else Kennedy could take over in 1938. Plus his term in this TL would start before his infamous comment. Still I think it is unlikely for Kennedy to become FDR's running mate without a very early POD (Like mid-20s).
 
First of all, FDR would never have allowed Joe Sr. to become Veep. He refused him the Treasury post because FDR distrusted his ambition. Joe Jr. would be crushed by Ike in either 52 or 56. JFK is OTL and RFK would succeed him unless his second term went like LBJ's. In which case he would become President in 1976 after Nixon. Ted would not become President after RFK, and JFK Jr would have to run for the Senate in 1992 to have a hope at the Dem nomination in 2000. He'd either run against George W. Bush or McCain, and victory is by no means certain. Lastly, not all Bushes and Kennedys are created equal...
