POD Nov. 23, 1963. Bonus points for Goldwater as the nominee, double bonus for Nixon as the GOP nominee...
Easy.
Lee Harvey Oswald is not slain by Jack Ruby, identifies LBJ as the leader of a conspiracy to kill JFK. The election of 1964 is between Acting President John McCormack and Nixon, and Nixon wins.![]()
McGovern in 1964?![]()
Don't you people remember what Goldwater was all about?
Back in 1964 the warnings were clear! A vote for Goldwater meant riots on campus and in the inner cities, a massive arms race and a bloody war in SE Asia! Do you people really wish those things had taken place?
LBJ's corrupt practices (dating from his Texas days and later) become public knowledge in the weeks before the 1964 election. Goldwater wins in a squeeker over LBJ.
