Yes, all the programs in the Great Society that Johnson passed was endorsed by Kennedy, he was gonna have Johnson pass thru Congress anyways, after he won 1964, but Cali would have flipped towards Kennedy, Johnson made Kennedy go to Dallas and Robert told Johnson to campaign in Cali, which John lost barely to a better Nixon.

That's why Robert campaigned in Cali not TX in 1968 but they were waiting for him too

Nope.

He was definitely a hawk, but a liberal?...I'm not so sure ...

Kennedy was known to support Civil rights, the reason why people assume he isnt liberal is that his legacy was cut short and Johnson passed Medicaid a s Medicare, and Civil Rights,  those too were Kennedys legacy.

That's why Hoover didnt go out of way to protect the Civil Rights leaders after they were killed, but the FBI quickly found all of the assassins
