If RFK became President in 1968 or 1976- as per the Presidential Challenges thread, how fast would the reform process take place? Would an "Indira" (like when she turned backbenchers & poor against Syndicate, and hijacked Congress as her personal fief) by RFK take place. The primaries system was inevitable, and Daley still rules Illinois, but maybe every primary winner-take-all. If so, Hillary would've won the nomination , which would make the job easier for us Republicans :). RFK was anti-machine of course, but not rabid about it. In OTL he tried to help reformers, but Rockefeller and Wagner made deals for hacks. Not that winning NY was uber-important since it was Demoland anyways (Rockefeller was a RINO, as were Javits and Keating)
