Here's a great article by Paul Kengor about a forgotten debate. I wish there was a way to watch it. Apparently, Reagan destroyed RFK in this face-off. I've pulled a line from the piece and included the address to the entire article:
Kennedy himself conceded defeat to Reagan, telling his aides after the debate to never again put him on the same stage with “that son-of-a-bitch.” Kennedy was heard to ask immediately after the debate, “Who the f—- got me into this?” Frank Mankiewitz was that aide, as Kennedy was quick to remind him a few weeks later: “You’re the guy who got me into that Reagan thing.”
