I was 7 years old at the time and remember his assassination very vividly.
Given the chance, I think he would have easily won and been a great President. However, I doubt that no matter how great he would have been, enough time has passed that any effect he had would have long disappeared.

Yes but that is a wild shot in the dark. Who knows, if you cut down a tree in the forest yesterday will it allow new trees to grow in its spot? The fact that he was gunned down is the sad part, it seems that if someone wants a possible new leader out of the way they can do it very easily. Our leaders need to know that when they sign up for a political position they put their life on the line and it shouldn't have to be that way. The security for someone in that position can never be perfect, so why do it that way? The days of kissing babies in politics is behind us and so is shaking hands of the possible future voters, why because some hand may have a gun in it. Let's move beyond that 70's something mentality and elect a politician who promises to do the job properly or face jail time. If that is too harsh then go mug old ladies in the park and see how long you stay outa jail. Politics needs to be based on honesty, right now it seems to be how much can I get away with without looking like I am the thief.

First of all it was 63 not 68 but Absolutely,this man was by far the greatest president in the history of your country,although the Bush's, and the Industrial Military Complex, and the CIA, and the Mafia, and the rednecks, and George Wallace in the South, and the privately owned National Reserve, and the Israelis would beg to differ. John Kennedy and his brother the Attorney General of the United States tried to eliminate all that was evil in your country as well as the middle east and Viet Nam and truly wanted peace for the entire planet and would have attained it,if not for the fact that they pissed off too many powerful people.Unfortunately they were both eliminated and we are in a deep pile of **** because of it..

JFK would have extremely received in view that johnson received over Goldwater through a landslide, and JFK became extra universal than Johnson. Robert Kennedy would have also received, i imagine. He became really universal and don't have had the negativity of the Vietnam conflict that Humphrey had even as he lost to Nixon in 1968. Martin Luther King, Jr had no interest in politics, and it became thanks to quickly for the standard public to settle for an African-American candidate.

I believe that Watergate wouldn't have happened, but I am not sure if something else bad wouldn't have happened. For example, Richard Nixon took steps to finally end the Vietnam War. Would RFK have been as successful?

Our world would probably be a much different place. A much better America, a much better society.
