All in all, yes.
Many anti-war liberals believe that JFK was assassinated because he would not allow his Generals to deepen their involvement in Vietnam. This is the stuff of the movie JFK, and it may well be the case, but it's certainly not firmly established.
After all, JFK, who loathed LBJ and was considering dumping him over the emerging Bobby Baker scandal in the mid-1960s, was likely to pick as LBJ's replacement Sen. George Smathers (D-FL), his best man at his wedding, the guy who introduced Nixon to Bebe Rebozo, the guy who sold Nixon his Key Biscayne residence, and a guy who signed the Southern Manifesto. JFK was a good President, but he has been enlarged in death beyond what he was in life, to use the words of his brother, Ted, at RFK's funeral. Most liberals here would likely view JFK as a disappointment had he lived and served a full two (2) terms.
