This campaign commercial is humorous because the guy PRETENDING to be a Republican is actually a professional actor named
WILLIAM BOGERT. However, you don't need to be told this was an actor to know this. It is obvious from his silly overacting that he was an actor. However, perhaps folks back in 1964 were not as sophisticated about political trickery to realize this. Plus they did not have the internet to out this obvious fraud.

A lot of TV was hammy like that in those days. Especially when ‘portentious truth’ was about to be uttered. I think it was a carryover from radio.

The sad thing, beyond the pure fakery that was such an overarching aspect of LBJ, is that this actor prattles on about the great people LBJ has working for him. What comes instantly to mind when he says this is Mcnamara and the disastrous moves they later made in Vietnam.

Ah, early television where the insider D.C. politics honed it’s manipulative BS skills.
