/—-/ if JFK had lived, re-elected or not, LBJ wouldn’t have been in office to get us into Vietnam and 50,000 GIs wouldn’t have died.For the poster who claimed they should contact the daughter, let me say this------> yes, she is his daughter, but JFK was much more than that to America. The minute that young President was elected, he WAS the hope of the country! Historically, his party affiliation meant NOTHING! A young President, with new ideas, cut down in the prime of his life by an assassin.
.
More than likely he would have lost re-election. Some people adored him and some hated him. We forget his centerpiece "New Frontier" plan because his domestic legislative agenda was such a dismal failure.
But being assassinated kind of put the differences over him to bed. As it should have.
