News of the assassination attempt spread like wildfire. a woman in Dallas Texas went into a taxi. Did you hear President Kennedy had been shot? She looked in the back of the taxi to find Former Vice president Richard Nixon was sitting there. Both Nixon and the woman stared at each other for a moment before she took a seat.

November 23, 1963

Vice President Lyndon B. Johnson takes flight in a helicopter. Secret Service figures it will be safer keeping him in the air if there was a plot to kill several heads of state as well as President Kennedy.

Oswald questioned at the police station.

Dallas police. Lee Harvey Oswald was found in a Dallas movie theatre, His fingerprints matched those found on the Marconi rifle dumped in the Dallas book depository,

"I didn't shoot anybody," Oswald said. Mr. Lavelle's suspicions were aroused by the response, and he began to wonder if Oswald had killed more than one person on Nov. 22.

over and over Oswald told the same story that he was framed.
when the police questioned Marino Oswald Lee Harvey's wife.

1963: NOVEMBER 22.


President John Fitzgerald Kennedy came to Dallas to kick start his reelection campaign. he carried the south and barely defeated Vice President Nixon in 1960. Whether his opponent was Barry Goldwater or Nelson Rockefeller The president needed the south to win in 1964.

The election campaign almost ended before it began.

A Secret Service agent, by the name of Paul Landis, very quickly, jumped out of the car that followed the President's car and grabbed a hold of the President. After the President is shot
hit the

Secret Service agent that would have fatally struck and killed the President, had he not been present. Sadly The brave secret service agent died for the president

that day. Now the search for the shooter or shooters began!

Oswald was wounded by Tippit and the officer drove Oswald to the hospital.
and the attempted assassination of the president would have a trial and it would be the trial of the century.

President Kennedy would awaken after a successful surgery.

Dr. Kenneth Salyer was a 27-year-old resident at Parkland Hospital on-call for head injuries when he got word a new patient was being rushed to the ER.

He was still breathing," he says. "It's sort of agonal, labored, close-to-your-last sort of breaths. But he still was breathing."

As he looked down at the president's grave wound, Salyer says he thought it was a "major high-velocity injury."

"And it's in a critical place," he said. "So the chances were pretty slim. that he did survive,

President John Kennedy, who suffered from chronic back pain, wore a heavy, corset-like brace that went from his chest to below his waist. When the president's clothes were removed, Salyer was

Unfortunately, he would be told of the

Death of the Secret Service agent(Paul Landis and would be shocked to learn that he died while saving his life.

Elsewhere, Vice president Johnson scrams watch out! as he comes out the bath room a nervous secret agent points his gun at him,

"we may lose the president tonight lets not add to it. Johnson told the his body guard as he comb his hair back still in shock of seeing someone point a gun at him.

Vice President Johnson would act as President of the United States, talking to Senators or the heads of state in foreign lands.

After  Governor Rockellers  wife gave birth to Nelson Junior his lead over Senator Goldwater sunk from 51%-37%  to 41%-43%.

Senator Goldwater won the 1964 Republican primary but to liberal Republicans he was unacceptable to be put forth as a candidate.

Governor  George Romney was  successful  drafted as a candidate  .not long  after words  Carolina  senator   Strom Thurmond declared  third party run.

In the   Presidential Debate,    President Kennedy defended his  foreign  poilcy citing how the Cuban missle crisis ended without a shot fired or a solider with boots on the ground.

 George Romney on the other hand said the cuban  missle crisis could cause the Soviet Union to be less interested in peace talks and build up their nuclear arsenal heating up the cold war. Romney also critsized Kennedy not  getting  a civil rights bill  passed  ending segergation .Kennedy responeded conservatives are tieing up  any bill from being passed.

• First off - HOLY HELL the copy and paste job of this as well as lack of spacing, proper grammar and correct spelling is enough to give someone schizophrenia trying to read this.

• I don’t get why it says “VP Johnson resigns cause of scandal” and LeRoy Collins replaces him. But then it says VP Johnson is sworn in as VP in 1965 (along side President Kennedy).....

• No chance in hell Kennedy’s approval rating would hit the 20’s within 4 months of troops being sent to Vietnam

• Also, the JFK wouldn’t have followed the Johnson Vietnam plan actually makes a lot of sense. He was a more practical pragmatic politican, he said numerous times it was there war and they had to win it. He was a lot more tempered when dealing with the military leadership unlike Johnson who bought everything they said hook line and sinker.

• It’s possible RFK loses in NY in 1968 but the popularity of JFK likely means he wins. And a third entrant in the race that ran under the banner conservative would assuredly split the GOP vote.
