When I was a kid, Scholastic did a “kids pick the president” poll. It was 1984 and John Glenn was running. I voted for him because he was an astronaut and The Right Stuff had come out a year before so I also thought he was basically Ed Harris. (I was 7.)
Jesse Jackson won. I was disappointed at the time. I’m not a fan of Jackson’s, but I’d still have taken him over 4 more years of Reagan.
