Had JFK Lost in 1960, Could He Have Made a Comeback in '64 or '68?

Being elected catholic POTUS was one thing, but being divorced, involved in affairs with Marilyn Monroe and Elisabeth Taylor ?
He would probably been pressured into shadows, not to harm "good family name".

Also, in 1964. there would be no stoping LBJ to try run at the office.

With all due respect, I read that article and I find it generally unreliable with many of it's claims bizarre and absurd. I respect your opinion, but I take issue with that source. Not to mention that the personal lives of politicians were kept secret at this period in journalistic history, so that wouldn't impact JFK.

As for LBJ, he'd be a failed VP candidate distrusted by the liberal wing of the party. He has little serious chance of getting nominated in 1964; LBJ would be the John Edwards of that year were he to run.
