(11,464 posts)what did the protest do?
Elected Nixon.
end of discussion.
HHH would have lost the general to Nixon regardless of Bobby being alive or dead.
HHH would have been the nominee and would have lost to Nixon.
The primaries of then were not set up as today's.
and any president would have done in Vietnam the same thing
so its a bogus issue in 2013
because in 1968 losing was not an option.
If it was, the whole billions and billions spent on space wouldn't have mattered if Russia beat us there and we would have applauded loudly for any space walk
because losing was not an option we spent the money and won
and the war ended when it ended. In fact getting rid of LBJ caused the war to end later than it would have.
but protesters threw him in the river and Got Nixon and later got 1000 times worse when they threw Carter away like yesterday's trash to elect Reagan.
