JFK wins easily in 1964, but probably with 55% instead of 60%. Everything LBJ is famous for still happens, but more slowly and gradually. Vietnam is still going on, but less of a mess, allowing a Dem to win narrowly in 1968 (either LBJ or RFK), but they pretty clearly lose in 1972 as inflation picks up. Beyond 1972, having no Watergate scandal and a persistent left-leaning SCOTUS (less left-leaning than the actual mid-late 60's Warren court, but more left-leaning than everything that came after) scrambles everything.
