Lyndon Johnson and the 1968 Convention: Part II - Dig In

  • Resumen

  • In the second part of our episode, we take a look at LBJ's actions around the 1968 convention. While we can't answer the hypothetical of whether LBJ was willing to accept a draft at the convention, we can see that his actions clearly hurt Hubert Humphrey's chances of winning that fall, and suggest a stronger level of involvement. Trusted aides differ sharply on what LBJ was doing, and so do reporters and authors. Information came out in 2011 in the form of new tapes, but even that is subject to interpretation. One wild suggestion is to follow Robert Caro and something he said about Lyndon Johnson's family home. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
