Absolutely. I would still rate him, despite Vietnam, as one of the three best presidents during the 20th century.

Without Vietnam he probably could have won another term and that likely changes everything on how people see him.

I think, if re-elected in 1968, Johnson likely wouldn't have been president until January 1973, regardless of Vietnam. He would have been dead by some time in 1971 due to his health problems what leaves us with President Humphrey for another one and a half years. In 1972, either George Romney or Nelson Rockefeller would have beaten Humphrey.
