Not working hard for the president is not going go war with him.
The Democrat party of the 60s is nothing like the party of today.
It was not nearly as disciplined as the party today.
Southern Democrats were often at odds with the Northern Democrats.
The Civil Rights act was only just barely passed and only because Republicans voted for it.
Without LBJ twisting arms it would not likely have passed.
What I am saying is if LBJ did not really work for it, it may not have passed, if he was not president he may not have.
His animosity with the Kennedys may have made him less enthusiastic. It is also well known that JFK did not like LBJ.
LBJ was well known for being a prick and one who kept grudges.
You sure are working hard to claim that JFK couldn’t pass his bills if reelected, that only his veep could.
