I think he knew he would be defeated if he ran in 1968. He was not well liked and he could not afford the scrutiny, Heaven only know would would have been uncovered.

I doubt he would have lost. If anything, You should read this. Johnson thought there was a conspiracy too, and found out after he took office who may have been behind it.

Personally, I don't believe Castro was behind Kennedy's assassination, but he did have good reason to be. The Kennedy's, especially Saint Bobby, had been trying to kill him.

Johnson knew nothing about any of that until after he became president.

LBJ could play bare knuckle politics with the best of them, but compared to Bobby Kennedy, Johnson was a Boy Scout.

You can believe whatever kind of fantasy you choose but Johnson was a sleazeball election stealing politician and he was every bit as bad a Bobby K. There was nothing he didn't know about the assassination. If he was that ignorant he would have run for re election.
