Bryan Cranston is obviously a very talented actor and high caliber one at that ever since his breakout TV series Breaking Bad. The producers chose the right actor for this LBJ docu-drama.
The civil rights bill will probably be remembered as of more importance historically than his screwing up Vietnam. Therefore, he will be well remembered by history. Or so it seems to me. Bill Moyers said Johnson was the most intelligent person he ever met.
@David Powell Street smarts are among the most practical and valuable forms of intelligence, but I think he was likely talking about Johnson's skill and foresight as a political planner and operator.
In The New York Times on April 3, 1966, Moyers offered this insight on his stint as press secretary to President Johnson: "I work for him despite his faults and he lets me work for him despite my deficiencies." Dude, get your facts straight!
A recent documentary on LBJ revealed that he had gotten to the point where Vietnam was going to come to the peace table to work an agreement to end the war. It was 1968 and Nixon got in and convinced Vietnam too wait till he was elected and he will give them a better deal I’ll never forgive Nixon for that Trick !!!
