So, let's say that Richard Nixon wins the United States Presidential Elections of 1960 and 1964 against different Democratic opponents (maybe Lyndon B. Johnson in 1960 and maybe Pat Brown, George Wallace, or one of Johnson's OTL surrogates in 1964). If Kennedy did not win the Democratic nomination in 1960, Richard Nixon probably does not select Henry Cabot Lodge, Jr. as his running mate and goes for Representative Walter Judd of Minnesota or Senator Thruston Morton of Kentucky instead. Maybe Nixon offers Lodge Secretary of State, which Lodge uses to run for President. Either way, Nixon's Vice President or Secretary of State Henry Cabot Lodge, Jr. runs for President in 1968 and wins the Republican nomination. "Nixon's handpicked successor" goes on to lose to Former Senator John F. Kennedy of Massachusetts (I had read somewhere that in a scenario like this, Kennedy would not seek re-election in the United States Senate Election in Massachusetts of 1964 to let his younger brother Robert F. Kennedy run). Anyway, Robert F. Kennedy begins his first term in the United States Senate from Massachusetts on January 3rd, 1965 and John F. Kennedy begins his first term as President of the United States on January 20th, 1969. Who do you think would be John F. Kennedy's vice presidential nominee? How about Richard Nixon's presidency from January 20th, 1961-69? Nixon would still have the Vietnam War on his hands, but would he give the People's Republic of China recognition or continue recognizing the Republic of China? Would Kennedy still offer Robert Attorney General of the United States? How would Kennedy be remembered in this timeline?
