        Fascinating - it shows how inclusive LBJ was in his thinking. The current incumbent’s words and actions, or lack thereof, sadly stand in stark contrast.

        Imagine Trump. "I prefer Presidents who don't get assassinated. Sad. Not classy at all. Lots of people are saying Lee Harvey Oswald, a Democrat, did it. If Kennedy hadn't voted against the NRA he would have a gun with him in that motorcade. A gun PROBABLY would have stopped it."

        I appreciate all of the historical documents you provide - especially those that are reminders of the value of thoughtfully editing what you say so your message is both accurately communicated and achieves the goal you intended.

        Incredibly emotional and stressful time for LBJ and America, and it shows in the draft.

        At the time, no one could have imagined the words "Lyndon Johnson" and "integrity" being used in the same sentence. What a great man, and what a giant legacy.

        We forget sometimes LBJ was once a school teacher who taught the poor. The edits remind me of those from my high school days. I wonder how he would grade the speeches Americans hear today from @POTUS. My guess is they would earn well deserved Fs.
