Although the majority of the people who listened to the debate on the radio thought that Richard Nixon won, the vast majority of the people who watched it on television felt John Kennedy won, (Richard Nixon did not shave before the debate for one thing), and John Kennedy won by a narrow margin, in part because he looked better on TV than Richard Nixon did.

How does the 12 amendment affect our lives today?

The 12th Amendment revised presidential elections.Prior to the 12th Amendment, the two parties would nominate their presidential candidates (like they still do). However, the winner of the election would become the president, and the loser of the election would become vice president.So, for example, in this last election, Donald Trump would have been president, and Hillary Clinton would have been vice president. Can you see the conflict with that? They would constantly disagree on every issue.The 12 Amendment made it so the presidential nominee and vice presidential nominee run together. So, like things are now, Donald Trump ran with Mike Pence, and Hillary Clinton ran with Tim Kaine.Now, the two heads of the Executive Branch come from the same political party, where they used to come from opposite parties.
