Your partisan butthurt is noted.
Lyndon Johnson was a pig, a vulgar petty man who escalated a poorly run war that killed thousands all for nothing. You bitch about Bush going to war for oil? shit man. He had nothing on LBJ
barack obama couldn't manage a one man shoe shine booth at Grand Central. He's incompetent and out of touch with reality. The best part about his administration is what he did for Congress in 2010 and 2014.
Harry Truman? Again. You hate on Bush for bombing a few civilians in Baghdad but overlook Hiroshima and Nagasaki?

Bush initiated a war, LBJ did not and btw most Republicans and conservatives were gung ho on LBJ's escalation
your hatred of Obama unhinges you.
Truman was involved in WWII. Bush's war set off the terrorism we have today. I supported the war. I believe Bremer was a creep, bush's or Cheney's creep. Early on in the assault on Baghdad rearguard military officers noted a rag tag group snipping at their heels. They were told by military brass to ignore them and push on -- it was the initial wave of what was later to become the insurgency
As for the '64 elections, LBJ won solely on the death of Kennedy.
I pretty much agree. That's how I remember it, being there.
The country was over that by 68 and elected Nixon twice, once by 110 electoral votes and once by 503.
The country was more "over" the JFK assassinations but also swimming in more recent ones (RFK and MLK being that same year) as well as social turmoil of massive cultural shift. The DP was saddled by association with the morass of Vietnam, the aforementioned social turmoil in the streets, born of both Vietnam and Civil Rights; and Nixon ran on a "Law and Order" campaign. Then you had Wallace running to Nixon's right, siphoning southern Democrats.
1968 had little to do with politics and a hell of a lot to do with cultural shift. Nixon was in a position, by default, to market his campaign that way. It was a time of deep division, far deeper than anything we have now.
