        Back when members of presidential families served in the military. (The Brit royal family still does.)

        For as much as LBJ screwed up the VietNam situation, he did have some serious skin in the game. And the war impacted him deeply. It is my opinion that he was a VietNam casualty himself.

        Remember this photo from Pt 4 of the brilliant American Experience doc: LBJ. Johnson's legacy wears Vietnam like a crown of thorns but he hated that war. He wasn't strong enough or secure enough to refuse the advice from the Harvards; Jack probably wouldn't have been either.

        I've always thought Johnson was in so much anguish by this time.

        Lady Bird was the best. I have never littered because of her campaign. They should do that in San Francisco.

        Can't help but think if the Dem party had magnificent bastard like LBJ right now we'd have a few Republicans moving on Trump. I heard that tape before on a doc. I think it cracked the old man.

        LBJ rolling in his grave? Maybe trying to tweet something along these lines: I did try to warn all! There are checks, no balances! Nothing. LBJ's words below relating to Edgar Hoover, FBI “History doesn't repeat itself but it often rhymes”--M.Twain knew.https://twitter.com/NaomiH_nothing/status/934852393803460610 …
