From what I understand, Kennedy wasn't the highest though of president before the assassination.
He had Johnson picked for him because Johnson was an extremely powerful senator and well liked man among his colleagues. Kennedy was not. Johnson was able to carry the South for Kennedy. Johnson and Kennedy hated each other immensely. Kennedy was unable to get anything done , then he was shot and Johnson was petty much handcuffed to follow through on the Kennedy visions.
That's what I have read and learned about that presidency.
