Sen. Boxer proposes deploying National Guard at schools

55. the Democrats who let a wedge issue get in the way and caused the republicans to win in 1968

LBJ would have won

Humphrey lost. He was not a good choice becausse he had all of the baggage of LBJ, yet nothing to separate himself from LBJ but wasn't LBJ
You can't assume Bobby would have been the nominee...back then it was not just primaries other considerations might have led to HHH anyhow if Bobby were alive

LBJ would have beaten Nixon. It would have been fun to see it, and Bobby would have been alive later on.

but the fracture of the party caused the loss.

shame because it took 50 years from LBJ to Obama over what?

and sold down the river is a phrase. It has nothing to do with the wedge issue of Vietnam, which in retrospect is just that, a wedge issue.
Eisenhower started it
JFK first expanded it
and there is nothing to say but words that he would have ended it
How exactly?

It's great for everyone on all sides to idolize JFK and Bobby. Because they aren't around and because to think they might have done something different, instead of dealing with everything and the war gotta win.

Remember, what was landing on the moon but part of the game.

We had to win at all costs
So why would JFK have lost and left? Nope he wouldn't. We were in a cold war with Russia at the time, and would have looked weak.

It is what it is

Why hold a grudge anyhow all these years later.
