JFK was going to lose re-election; yes, even Texas, with LBJ a master of VOTER FRAUD, because he was a LOUSY president! So lousy, that even the lefty N.Y. Times had condemning, nasty articles about him, his administration, and the messes being made, on the front page, ABOVE THE FOLD, almost constantly, by '63.

I doubt that LBJ set up this trip, in order to have him killed. But then, nobody really will ever know and what does it matter now, anyway? Except that it would be nice, oh heck...WONDERFUL, if all of the lies, propaganda, and fairy tales about JFK, et al, were replaced by FACTUAL HISTORY, which most here, appear to not know.

one mistress or one drug story and JFK would have lost in a landslide. Crawford squashed her death and that would have sunk both Kennedys she was way more popular than they were.

In 60 the mafia, the teamsters, and the UMW were behind them. He would have had a [very difficult time being re-elected.
