Who would be a better Speaker candidate for them?
Alright,thanksJoe Waggoner was closely tied to the White Citizens Council. He was from north Louisiana.
Jamie Whitten was from north Mississippi. He was a segregationist at that point in time (although he ultimately repented. He was a longtime member of the House.
William Colmer might be the best choice. He was Rules Committee chairman.
SaaaammmmmeeeeeeKinda bummed a more moderate Nixon didn't win.
if you want we could just make a poll and see what if the members want to See President Robert Kennedy or President Richard Nixon. If they agree with you guys we will retcon the Kennedy win and give it to Nixon.Saaaammmmmeeeeee

I basically agree. And that’s definitely a unique take on an RFK Presidency!You know In favor of retconning him to, Mainly i have an objective of devloping Kennedy's politcial ideology Abit more, so I can use it to affect the democratic party,some of whos tenets i Hinted at in my post during the election (you know the pro life side). I would honestly like to keep him in reserve until 1980.
What's the unique part about it? The fact that he got it in 1980 or that he is a Social Conservative?an RFK Presidency
December 1968: Robert Kennedy starts writing a book on his views and what he sees as threatnig america, in the book he pushs what he calls American Pioneer Democracy, where he says that Goverment should intervene to help out those who need helping,should fight communism but not lose "our soul to fighting the very evil that thretans us" and should use socially conservative policies "to protrct life and the very souls of our young" this comes from his devout Catholcism. The book,when published in 1970 will be a massive hit and influence the Democratic party in a way similar to Barry Goldwaters famed "consceius of a conservative"
Probably going to have some problems in it, By the way im going to use MLK as a big proponet of this Pioneer Democracy.OOC: I wonder how Ted Kennedy's lifestyle will affect his and Bobby's relationship
