What's this?

Cranston becomes LBJ. Outstanding! Yes, Johnson was hugely impactful as


President. But his Achilles heel in the end was Vietnam. Sill he was the last president from the New Deal coalition and certainly the wedge which broke that were the Civil Rights and Voting rights acts. Johnson did the right thing though and he deserves enormous credit.

Like you I found the arguments from the segregationist Democrats to be quite familiar.
