Why do you think FDR did nothing about Jim Crow in the South. Loose the southern Democrat support, loose the White House. Why do you think JFK would not talk about withdrawing troops publically from Vietnam until after the 68 elections. Didnt want to appear to be soft on the Commies. better to let a few more American die in Vietnam, than loose the election. Winning is what it is about. If you dont win the office, you have no say in the outcome. You cannot influence policy.
