Kennedy would not have jumped ship. He only cut taxes to increase revenue for his proposed welfare state increases, which were later implemented by LBJ who ALSO cut taxes. Cutting taxes does not necessarily translate into oppostion to expanded government. In fact, he can be used a certain times for the opposite goal.
I say it would have been McGovern that cause him to jump.It would have been Bobby had they not been brothers.
that cause him = that caused him
