(257 posts)For those who are not as old as I am, let me tell you a bit about the election that occurred iin 1968.
First you should understand that that year started off with Lyndon Johnson announcing he would not seek a second term. (Think Viet Nam war.) This soon led to the feeling that the best Dem candidate would be one Robert Kennedy (obviously to be strongly distinguished from his stupid and inept son who has been trying to confuse this years current election campaign by idioticallly touting his anti- vax nonsense). Alas, Bobby Kennedy was assassinated by Sirhan Sirhan. So then the Dems had to switch to Senator Hubert Humphrey. He would have made a fine President. But that didnt work out because the Democratic Convention in Chicago was a disaster. People had voted for Kennedy and Humphrey in the primaries, but the anti Vietnam war leaning Dem electorate together with the stupidly evil antics of the Chicago mayor Richard J Dailey turned the covention into a forum of confusion and internecine rancor which eventually nominated Humphrey.
In my view that messed up covention played a very big role in the the resulting victory of the Republican candidate.
And who was that candidate - - why it was none other than the man who was the SECOND WORST PRESIDENT weve ever had, Richard Milhaus Nixon. (I bet you can guess who the WORST president was.)
If certain Dem members of Congress and self important and totally misguided big donors keep mistreating Biden the way they so stupidly and/or selfishly have done since The Debate, we are going to finish the nominating process in the same catastrophic way the 1968 Dems did and we might very well get the worst president ever for a second and vastly more dangerous time.
To those who have been hell bent on repeating 1968 - - WAKE UP BEFORE ITS TOO LATE!!!!
