Barry Goldwater was considered an elder statesman some years after the election. LBJ was much despised by all, except Lady Bird, Linda Byrd, and Lucy Bird. Even Him and Her hated him , because he picked them up by the ears.
Was that their names, those two Beagles? Didn't know that. I doubt they hated him, though, and as bad as it looked, I doubt they hated being picked up by their ears. If they had, they'd have run from him. Dogs are very forgiving creatures.
