I'd agree more with Sanchez at this point, but Colin Powell can easily be made a Democrat in a scenario. He's a moderate Republican at best and only decided to choose a political party in 1996, so it can be changed.

However, what's going on with Vietnam? I'd think Johnson would still do the same thing that he did do.

Also, if there's no assassination, Rocky has a better chance of winning the Republican nomination. With that, he loses, and Goldy has a good chance in 1968. Was JFK made Vice-President? Also, how is Kennedy re-elected in 1980? He'd have to do an incredible job as President just to win 270 electoral votes.
