Just watched https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=POIpFXt-53Q and it was a fascinating debate, which had me thinking...
Eisenhower was winning in 1956, there's no doubt. But what if, we didn't allow repeat nominees, seems pretty unfair that Adlai can run again, and lose kind of with no purpose. So my question, what's the outcome of an LBJ/Humphrey ticket running against Eisenhower/Nixon in 1956?
The reason we went into Vietnam is because Kennedy died, had JFK lived we would have NEVER entered into a Vietnam war. JFK was pulling out of Vietnam, there is no doubt in my mind.
