Why would Kennedy have wanted to replace LBJ?

Did not like him, had no further use. And like44, expect most decisions made then by his daddy appointed keepers while he played playboy.

To clarifyтАжl.b.j. was necessary to provide the rayburn apparatus necessary to give them Texas and steal that election. That ended any usefulness he provided j.f.k.s daddy and his cadre who was calling all the shots. Just like #44, j.f.k. was also a puppet in this case one whose strings were pulled by daddy et al.

Also I heard LBJ blackmailed himself onto the ticket. They never got along and he was kept out of the loop.
