Assuming John Kennedy is not assassinated on November 22, 1963 and his term prior to that goes exactly as it did. Is there any conceivable scenario here in which he loses reelection? The general consensus is that he would have won reelection quite handily, especially against Goldwater, although not exactly by as much as LBJ won the 1964 election.
I think neither Goldwater nor Nixon a rematch could have done it. However, if the Bobby Baker scandal moves on, Kennedy appearing indecisive on Vietnam and Nelson Rockefeller doesn't divorce from his first wife, I could see Rocky actually pulling it off.
Thoughts?
