JFK Lives

been done before I know, but what do you think the effects on the US and the World would be if Oswald was doing something else on 11-22-63?
I would be surprised if Johnson had changed the policy on trying to kill Castro. I am not sure of the dates when it was authorised, people will note that these attempts were notably incompetent.
He probably wouldn't be as popular if he wasn't shot. Eventually, his various affairs would have got up with him and he might have lost the 1964 election is pushed for the Civil Rights Act too much.
I think President Kennedy would have won re-election in 1964, I have no doubt about that had he lived. I think we would have had Civil Rights and that Civil Rights would have gone pretty much as it did in OTL.
The big difference I think would have been Viet Nam. Had Kennedy lived I don't think we would have gotten as heavily involved in Viet Nam and/or as bogged down there as we did under Lyndon Johnson. There is even some realistic speculation that had Kennedy lived we would have significantly reduced American combat forces in Viet Nam, perhaps that American combat troops might have even been pulled out altogether.
I feel if Kennedy had lived he would have been easily re-elected in 64, everything else would have gone pretty much as in OTL except for Viet Nam, and under Kennedy Viet Nam would have been very different.
