Given that you only have ten posts here, I suggest you read around a bit... You won't have to go far to find the answers you're looking for.

Somebody asked my question already but nobody answered it.  That's why I'm asking again.  I'm just curious has to what you think the results might be.  

Check out the History section... gporter asked about 1964 Election... Read either my or Capt. MikeyMike's answers... Or anyone else who answered the questions, I dunno if there was anyone else.

Kennedy would have gotten us out of Vietnam so that would've have plagued Johnson during the primary.

Rubbish; always remember that it was St Kennedy of Brookline's appointees that led LBJ (who was, and this should never be forgotton, a foreign policy ignorant) to escalate the war in Vietnam.
People only think that JFK would have gotten the U.S out of Vietnam because they want to think that he would have done...

My point exactly. Though, as you say yourself, Johnson didn't actively run foreign policy himself. Kennedy may have overruled these appointees. But that is a maybe only.

It's impossible to know what Kennedy would've done... He was alot less stubborn and much more concerned with public opinion than bullish LBJ. Kennedy could've entered, realized it was unwinnable and withdrawn... We will never know.
