Suppose George Wallace had not run who would have benefited most, Nixon or Humphrey?
 
His failed attempt in the 1976 presidential election was mainly due to health concerns being pushed by opposition. He left the campaign after the primaries.

did he run in 1976, too? If he did, he bailed early.

The real problem Wallace had was he was kind of an embarrassment, the personification of racist policies that neither party wanted to openly embrace.

/---/ What if JFK hadn't been shot? Then no LBJ as president and no Vietnam and 50,000 KIA and many more WIA and MIA would be alive and well. What then? You can pay what if all day long. Stupid waste of time.

And if RFK hadn't been entering the race, would LBJ have pulled out, or stuck it out against McCarthy? And in retrospect we learned that LBJ was adamant about ending the war in Vietnam, while Nixon had no intention of ending it before winning again in 72.
 
Ah, yes...the Kennedy-Johnson war that Lyndon thought he could micromanage the actual war part of from the Oval Office with his Defense buddy, R. Strange McNamara and his vast experiences from many a factory parking lot battlefields commanding the head crackins’ of striking Ford workers. What a great dimocrat duo.
