How would anyone in 1963 have believed that the tragedy of the JFK assassination 50 years ago . . . by an avowed Communist, no less . . . be transformed by a full-socialism embracing vice president into a landslide victory over a viable conservative alternative (and personal friend of JFK) less than one year later?
Kennedy was popular, Johnson was his VP. Johnson got re-elected. Pretty simple. Then Johnson kept Republicans at bay with his hopeless war.
This doesnt say anything about whay Obama would want to make himself and his party untrusted national jokes as a method to gain more power.
Nothing can explain why that theory makes any sense.
