@ryangrim Learning my ass. JFK ws trained to be a pol since birth by Joe Sr. Joe Jr ws supposed to be prez. Whn he died, JFK ws next in line -
@RealTrumanDem Caro's latest book goes over it pretty well, so does The Liberal Hour

@ryangrim When Truman was asked abt JFK 's Catholicism maybe being a problem, he replied "It's not the Pope, it's the Pop."Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@ryangrim JFK was no rube whn it came to schmoozing. Clinton was more like him in that area- esp with the ladies. -
@RealTrumanDem it's not just schmoozing though. LBJ had worked with Byrd for years, knew how to get what he wanted. -
@ryangrim With LBJ as his VP, he could've gotten a lot done. He ws too proud to ask for LBJ's help. PBO knows VP Biden can do wht he can't.
