Put aside Civil Rights ... and then this guy is an unmitigated disaster. Option 4!


That's an incredibly major "put aside" there.  Segregation and discrimination against minorities was the biggest blot on the U.S. before LBJ.  One can make a very strong argument that LBJ's achievements in the civil rights sphere outweigh Vietnam and his other shortcomings.  What you said is a little like saying: "Boy, Hitler really did a bang up job on Germany.  His only two mistakes were launching WWII and conducting the Holocaust."
