I'm a Reagan fan, but LBJ deserves credit for the South turning Republican.

In Texas and elsewhere, conservative Democrats elected LBJ. They were horrified at the result, and that is part of what forced them to reconcile their party with their ideology.

I hate LBJ as the big-government author of the War on Poverty, repurcussions of which are still hurting us. On the other hand, I will give LBJ that he forced through the Civil Rights Act. Some of that conservative Democrat horror was that result. Thankfully, the Republican party did not become the anti-Civil Rights party.
