Johnson is an interesting guy.

He was essentially a class warrior against the southern aristos he’d been patronized by and insulted for his whole life.

The problem is that in his innermost heart he was in awe of them, and when they sucked up to him after his becoming president he rolled over on his back.

Interesting observation that may be correct. I just thought of him as a very stubborn and not very intelligent class warrior who got in way over his head.

Kind of like Jimmy Carter. ;~))
