Join the rest of us patriots and pray for Trump’s continuing good health.....
By late 1968 Johnson was disheartened by his failure to defeat the North Vietnamese following the Tet offensive. Media icons like Walter Cronkite began to side with the anti-war activists and question for the first time the ability of this country to win the war. But the real decider was when he barely won the New Hampshire primary against Eugene McCarthy who was a strong anti-war advocate. At that point he decided he was damaged goods and needed to step aside so Humphrey could wind down the war without distraction. If Romney or Weld or some other Republican can come close to beating him in an early primary he might re-evaluate his options. There will be huge amounts of money spent to target him. His only hope is support from a loyal base standing with him against the swamp tide.
