It's debatable that the Voting Rights Act (not the Civil Rights Act) would have passed anyway. It's also debatable that he didn't run in 1968 because he felt he was unpopular. The main reason why he chose not to seek re-election was because he realized that Bobby Kennedy likely would have won the nomination because of his enormous popularity at the time and all the anti-Vietnam war feeling around the country.
Lyndon B. Johnson is one of the most underrated Presidents in history. He did a lot of good for the country. But his foreign policy in regards to the escalation of the Viet Nam war led to his downfall. That's what happens when a President's advisors have too much influence over him.

Not exactly. By1967 the social programs became nationally divisive, and the war was magnifying all the tensions in the extreme. By late 1967 Johnson couldn't go anywhere without meeting significant harsh protests, and the Democratic party had split much more seriously than Republicans today. The Tet Offensive tipped feelings against Johnson dangerously. Though the North Vietnamese were decisively beaten, media coverage showing how much reach they had over South Vietnam led to broad conclusions among Johnson's advisors and most of the public the war could not be won, meaning stalemate at least. Famously even Cronkite seemed to drop the view the war could be won. Certainly with the Korean War stalemate still fresh in American minds at the time the view Vietnam would end the same way made the war and more American deaths look futile.
Bobby Kennedy at the time was not the factor at first he seems today. His candidacy was considered a long shot and it was Eugene McCarthy at first who demonstrated his strength by nearly beating Johnson in the New Hampshire primary, though it's impressive Johnson's support was by write-in because he had not declared his intentions.

Don't forget it's widely believed Johnson and his administration set up the Gulf of Tonkin incident to escalate tensions into commitment for war. If you read the article it alludes to how Johnson felt about his personal responsibility for all the American deaths.
Yes, Johnson is much more highly regarded today, but his popularity by 1967 already had made re-election look very difficult. Before Tet some Democratic governors were warning Johnson would lose their states. After Tet more of the public was against Johnson and the splits in the Party made re-election very doubtful. Today because he had made very tough social program choices against harsh resistance he often ranks in the top 1/3 or 1/4. Sometimes better.

One of my heroes, born from Jamaican parents General Colin Powell is voting for Hillary. although the Iraq kinda tarnish his image a little. his charity work in the inner cities makes up for it.
Colin Powell Announces He Will Vote For Hillary Clinton
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/colin-powell-hillary-clinton-trump_us_580fa2fde4b001e247dec7db
Former Secretary of State Colin Powell is supporting Hillary Clinton in November’s presidential election.
Powell, a retired four-star Army general and a Republican who served in the George W. Bush administration, reportedly made the announcement at a Tuesday event hosted by the Long Island Association, a business group focused on development in Long Island, New York
Hacked emails that were published in September revealed that Powell had called Donald Trump, the GOP nominee, a “national disgrace” and a “international pariah” earlier this year. In a separate email, he decried what he called the “racist” conspiracy theory about President Barack Obama’s birthplace.
Powell joins scores of other Bush administration veterans who have crossed party lines to endorse Clinton, including former Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff, former President’s Foreign Intelligence Advisory Board Chairman Brent Scowcroft, former Commerce Secretary Carlos Gutierrez, former Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson and former Deputy Secretary of State Richard Armitage.
While Bush himself has kept silent about whom he plans to vote for in November, his father, President George H.W. Bush, is reportedly supporting Clinton.
Pariah - parasite, leper, black sheep, outcast, persona non grata, undesirable, nonperson.
Please don't get me wrong. I LOVE Trump. He's the best thing to make Trump lose. :thumb:

Trump said that Hillary will get millions of dead people votes. It must be true as he always tells the truth except when he said that he assaulted women and a few, very rare other occasions. I'm confused about when he is telling the truth when he denies what he has already tweeted. Was the original tweet a lie and therefore his denial of believing in it the truth?
It looks like Hillary really wants to crush him, even using dead people and illegal aliens. She has even been pandering to space aliens, assuring them that she recognizes them in the hope that they will also vote for her.

And you actually think that Hillary ever tells he truth? The media does not report it.... Sorry, mainstream media which most pay close attention to.
I agree that both candidates are liars. Even if I didn't believe that Trump stealing from desperate people with his Trump University and not paying contractors is worse, his racial and sexist slurs, encouraging of violence, nonsensical policies - trickle down economics, building a wall etc., complete, wilful and proud ignorance of foreign and domestic affairs disqualify him from office.
Suppose that you have a choice of whom to fly your plane- a lousy, but experienced pilot who you personally dislike or a completely untrained passenger who asserts that he knows more about flying than all the pilots in the country. Whom do you pick?
You may not be a Trump fan, but we could all reply to the subject of what we quote instead of pivoting a finger to the other candidate. Oooops you pivoted. Like Hillary does. Oh say it ain't so.
Ohhhhh come on this is so easy. It's all locker room talk. Unless Donald says otherwise. Unless he's getting cheers from the RIGHT crowd. If it makes him look bad. If the evil media picks up on it. If a dozen abused women don't accuse him of anything. If it drops him in the polls. If it's recorded by anyone. If there's a video of it. If he's tweeting from his golden toilet bowl. Most importantly....if any of his fans say it is.
This is how you run a Presidency. You deny everything, including that picture of Trump French-kissing Putin. https://timedotcom.files.wordpress.com/2016/05/trump-putin.jpg?quality=85&w=1100
