Policy with Russia would have been different, ditto for Viet Nam and Cuba. Might have been tougher and scarier in 64 and 65...and I think that 64 race would have been tighter, but with JFK still winning. Causing Nixon to have a more decisive win in 68, possibly no Watergate....but Carter would still have won in 76. So back to normal.

I don't know if much would have changed in foreign policy. It was Eisenhower who got us involved in Vietnam and Cuba. Kennedy simply carried on some of his foreign policies.

What we might not have gotten was the Great Society that Johnson pitched. Johnson was a southern Democrat and a man with very different political values from Kennedy. He caused quite a stir in the Democratic Party with his support for Civil Rights. Kennedy would have supported Civil Rights legislation but I don't think he would have divided the Democrats the way Johnson did.

But maybe I'm wrong. 1960s history isn't one of my fortes.
