Interest in a successful Great Society TL?

I think this would be a great timeline. Lyndon B Johnson was a great man, who deserved his presidency to work out in otl.

Well he certainly had bad luck, but to be fair Vietnam was largely his fault. He deliberately turned around Kennedy's less interventionist ideas in favor of direct committal of ground troops-though to be fair fair, Congress was totally behind him (I believe the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution had two opposing votes in the Senate) and his Cabinet was in favor of interevention. And Diem had already been kicked out, so things were already going downhill.
 
Thanks for the support everyone. This TL will be a fusion of three ideas of mine, and at least in part a biography of a well-known politico who was still a teenager in the 1960s. I will discuss Canadian events as well, and if some Britons wish to lend me a hand, I can cover UK politics in more than passing detail. I won't reveal the POD yet, but it is one of the trifecta.

Bill Clinton and Trudeau doesn't win the Premiership!

I will claim my cookie in the morning.
