Taking a little break from this one.

Good god. I kept asking, “How did a man like this become President?” I then swiftly responded each time with: “Of course he became President.”

A lonely, sad opportunist who desperately wanted to be in charge for the sole reason of making people answer to him. No vision other than establish and manipulate a system he can be in charge of. And that’s just college!

Wasn’t expecting a complete history of Western Texas before we meet LBJ. Actually, written so engagingly I don’t care what it’s about.

Also, LBJ was an absolute nightmare of a child. I don’t think anyone actually liked him in his entire hometown and for very good reason.

He also refused to wear shoes.
