LBJ knew how to twist arms and get stuff done. He would be proud to see his daughter standing for voting rights.

TFG thinks his handshake is intimidating. I'd like to see him get the "Full Johnson treatment".

and I can imagine him kicking Paxton's rump out of the Capitol and to the Austin city line, telling him if he comes back he can expect to have it done again. LBJ was a tough old buzzard who didn't take any shit, although he could dole it out.

I didn't appreciate him at the time (I was a kid),. but have come to miss him greatly.

He pushed through the Civil Rights bill. He is a Democratic hero.
