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. Who the press seemed to overlook) and killed. The presidency was glossed up. |

That is why he was in Dallas in the first place, trying to get the solid southern democrat vote back. |

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? -- Posted with my iPhone 8+. |

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 but 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. |
