For the History of it...Fifty years ago today, at the Democrat Presidential Convention in Chicago, the United States shifted gears...

It was Viet Nam war time...

• Lyndon B Johnson (who took over as POTUS after JFK got killed in '63)
• decided that he had enough & refused to run for another term

1. we had the VP Humphrey
2. we had Eugene McCarthey (let me tell you parents this: No kid named Eugene will ever be POTUS)
3. and then we had Bobby Kennedy who got killed in June by a Nut job

Ended up that Hubert ran vs Dick & Nixon won.

The Democrats went completly wacko at their Convention in Chicago as you can see...Dem Mayor Daley sent the Police in, backed up by the National Guard w/ batons a swirling & tear gas in the air.

I see so many similarities today (ANTIFA) to the Dems of 1968...& there is so much more to the Story and the history.

By the way, in august of 1968 I was in viet nam. did not read about this stuff 'til a week later.
