You might not be aware that during the Eisenhower administration, Johnson and Ike made a deal to pave Texas with that interstate moneySam Rayburn was also influential. Getting back on point. There was a liberal wing of the Texas Democratic Party led by Senator Ralph Yarborough. The conservative wing was led by Governor John Connally. They were so split that Republican John Tower was elected to LBJ's senate seat. Kennedy sought to ensure that the party would be united for the 1964 election. That should have been Johnson's job. The Vice-Presidency made Johnson so weak, that he could not settle the squabble. All Johnson's leadership talents could not overcome the office. He did not display them until he became President. |
