  • Lyndon Johnson and the 1968 Convention: Part II - Dig In
    Jul 30 2024
    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

  • Lyndon Johnson and the 1968 Convention: Part One - "I Will Not Accept Your Nomination"
    Jul 27 2024
    Lyndon Johnson's decision to withdraw from the 1968 Presidential race was the definition of a shocking TV moment. With a President not accepting the nomination of his party for the first time since, we think it's time to release our previously Patreon-Only episode on LBJ and the 1968 convention. Remember to support our Patreon - link at myhistorycanbeatupyourpolitics.com. This was originally content from the Patreon, and there's plenty more there when you sign up. Lyndon Johnson said he would leave the Presidential race in 1968. But would he have accepted a draft? and did he even conspire to engineer one? We won't answer the question in this two-part series, but we will get into the details. Why was a guy out of politics still controlling his party? Who was that memo writer "Bert" who did not match with any name in the White House or on the Campaign. And what about that Birthday Cake? In two parts we will get into everything. We should note. This episode was recorded years ago, and there's no implication that Biden-LBJ situations are the same. In fact, they make a better contrast than comparison. Still there is much to learn.

    To match the faithful of the Bush campaign, the Kerry campaign builds the largest army of door knockers ever. Just like Team Bush, he thinks he has the election. But did he ever have a chance? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
