In OTL Lodge, Henry Cabot, Jr was the son of the great Republican politicians from the turn of the centaury; he became the Republicans answer to the Democrat Adlai Stevenson as the voice of the progressive wing of the party however he failed to gain the Republican nomination from the hard line (really quite mad) Barry Goldwarter in the 1964 election.
But what if Lodge had won out and challenged LBJ in 64 or 68 and managed to turn the republicans into a more tolerant and leftwing party possibly turning the whole of U.S politics to the left as a result, What would be the impact on the cold war, Vietnam and civil rights of a Lodge Presidency?
Any Comments?
