now, with all fairness, Jellolion, LBJ did indeed have a lot of great ideas regarding social programs and domestic policy, but none of it worked until Richard Nixon applied good ol' Republican pragmatism to LBJ's "Great Society" vision. And there's really no need to trash JFK, especially if you're unwilling to trash Ronald Reagan and the Bushes (thanks Ralph Reed and Pat Robertson)
Joe Haggar was not a tailor. His family owned the Haggar Clothing Company in Dallas. LBJ was ordering custom clothing from a large manufacturing company. The location of their company on Lemmon Ave was not close to the downtown parade route where Kennedy was assassinated.
Eisenhower and Kennedy had sent a small number of troops for police/military training. And Kennedy was resisting requests to escalate. When Johnson became president, that tragically changed.
The Cuban missile crisis weakened the Soviet Union's position and that allowed the United States to broker an escalation, but the Cuban escapade was Eisenhower's baby with Dulles and McCone later on. Johnson acted on policy that was set in motion by men in front of him.
