I was 7 yrs old when he was assassinated. I'm looking far into retrospect. Camelot.Â*Â* Since he really screwed the pooch in his short time as President, but looked good, talked well, had a nice looking wife (who he played around on, and she to do the same playing around.Â* Who the press seemed to overlook) and killed.Â*Â* The presidency was glossed up. There was a very good chance that he was going to lose the 64 election. That is why he was in Dallas in the first place, trying to get the solid southern democrat vote back. Lose to who? We might have actually seen Nixon again but Goldwater had a much better chance against a live JFK than LBJ over the body of a dead president. By September of 63 K's approval ratings had fallen to the lowest in his presidency and there was not even anyone from the GOP reminding us how bad things were going. I was in DC every day at that time 2 blocks from his house. The blood was in the water. Lose to who? Goldwater? Nixon? Romney?, that's if he gets past the LBJ primary challenge. Like I said, the blood was in the water. Maybe the news didn't get to Connecticut. They were too busy talking about Jackie's new hat. None of them had a chance in 1964. Nixon lost and it was too soon to run again. Goldwater was too for out there. Romney? Nah. And I was living in Kansas. Ah yes, The political nerve center of the nation ... Kansas. That is almost like being in DC going to a private school with the kids of politically connected parents. Kennedy was in trouble. People were basically starting to ask "We see the beefcake butÂ* where is the beef"? The democrats were disillusioned and wondering if they did not just have the ticket flipped. JFK had a filibuster proof senate (65 votes) and a big majority in the house and yet they were not seeing much coming out of it. The buzz was Johnson might have taken a run at JFK in 64. To start with, he knew how sick Kennedy really was. Lots of people knew he was not right but the news covered it up ... just like FDR. Johnson was not that nice. In many ways Trump reminds me of LBJ, not so much in agenda issues but in personalities.Â* Both are/were bullies. LBJ understood government and the legislative process, and among other things, got the Civil Rights bill passed. Trump is a pig with no governmental or legislative talents, and would rescind what is left of the Civil Rights bill, if he could. Johnson has many great accomplishments and a colossal failure. Trump transferred more of the nation's wealth to the rich. How much of that Vietnam budget went to the rich? (Dow, Dupont, General Dynamics, Boeing, Raytheon) We understand it was the poor who were dying. Rich kids who served, were in the rear with the gear or they just dodged the draft altogether. |

BTW, what is your secret source of information that indicates that Trump would rescind the Civil Rights bill?Â*Â* Real info or more "Fake News"? Trump is a racist. There are racists in his administration. The most prominent is Steve Miller. It's sad that someone with your intelligence so easily buys into whatever the latest, popular claims of the left are. I have little respect for Joy Reid or Maxine Waters.Â* I think they both exhibit reverse racism.Â* Both are black.Â* Does that mean I am a racist? No, I don't believe you are a racist. But I think most of Trump's "base" supporters are. |
