Sirhan Sirhan's name is pronounced Sir-han Sir-han. He's named after the Palestinian town of Sirhan, known as one of the few remaining predominantly Christian towns in the Holy Land, his father's ancestral hometown. Robert Kennedy's promise to send weapons and military aid to Israel is cited as a likely motive for the assassination, although Sirhan's journals imply a fascination with Communism and a degree of mental illness at the time.

That does include Californians like Nixon and Reagan, but also guys like Ike twice, Bush 41 once and even Ford, who lost the election despite winning California. Clinton won it in 1992 and except for a few token moments, Republicans have never even tried since. GWB in 2000 was the last Republican I actually remember doing anything in CA after the nomination. Even that I think was just to force Gore to give a little effort to secure California that he might have given to another state.

Privately to me he'd say the worst things--they're inferior, dirty, dumb, breeders ruining the gene pool--you get the idea. I'd just listen in silence and try to maneuver the conversation elsewhere. For one, I had to work with him. Secondly, I loved working with him: nothing was too much for him; he never complained; he always had my back; he was always cheerful; and he was a perfect gentlemen to everyone--including blacks. Really, never worked with a better guy. I figured his screwed up views were really not my business. But here's the really big thing. Every night--I mean EVERY night--he'd wait for 10 minutes after his shift was over to give a black guy who didn't have a car a ride home. And the black guy didn't like the two other black guys who worked there--he considered them clowns---but he and the Marine were thick as thieves. I never knew exactly what to make of it, but there it was. People are weird.

@@trevorbarnhill3399 Very good question. When we were little--like 5--the older daughter and I played a little house and doctor--until we got caught. But we were just little ones. Later, as teens, I had a crush and took her to one school dance, but there was really nothing going on. Part of it, I think, is that they were very religious, and we weren't, which formed something of a barrier--our family's just didn't mix. Plus, we parents had a very bad marriage, which gave us, and me, a bit of a taint in her and their eyes I think. One more interesting note. In school, I had an intense rival on the sports field. He took careful note of me with her at that dance. Not long after that, the two of them started dating, and he had a fancy car, and made conspicuous stops at the house where the two of them would have makeout sessions under the tree by the car. Of course I'd pass by sometimes, and he made a show of it. I had given up my crush, fortunately, before this, but I always wondered, and still wondered, is he with her, partly, to spite me? He dumped her after a year, and I think it was hard on her. I think he was her first love. She ended up with a really awful guy and went through a horrendous divorce.

He told me that he wanted Humphrey to win the election and would have voted for him, but he was still in high school at the time and was not old enough to vote. Ironically, it was Nixon who he voted for the first time he voted back in 1972. However, because of Watergate, he regretted it. The first time my Mom was able to vote was in 1976 and she voted for Jimmy Carter with my Dad. Believe it or not, I voted for Carter with her as she was pregnant with me at the time.

@KanyeWarRoom

4 жыл бұрын

Each state has X amount of votes that are a combination of equal appropriation (2 per state) alongside proportional to the # of voters. DC is set to match the lowest state. So a state like California has 53 electors from their population and 2 from their statehood while North Dakota has only 1 elector from their population and 2 from their statehood. Most states are "winner takes all" but there are two that divide based on congressional district (smaller areas within the state): Maine and Nebraska. The 2 state electors are given to whoever wins the most in the state regardless of congressional districts. This is to give smaller states a voice and prevent echo chamber cities such as Los Angeles and New York from deciding the election every year. People generally hate the college for the "winner takes all" part of it. Occasionally you'll find folk who think it should be all popular vote but that's a much longer discussion.

Because of this, it's rather sick to give Nixon credit for "ending" the war he intentionally expanded for YEARS in order to cheat in his initial election.

Both Truman and Johnson got the US into an unpopular war that sank their approval ratings and they dropped out of the race because of a poor performance in the New Hampshire primary.

He was doing it even though Wallace was in the race and Thurmond himself had run as a third-party Dixiecrat himself twenty years earlier. That fact likely really helped Nixon make inroads among Southerners that he otherwise wouldn't have. It was Nixon rather than Wallace who won South Carolina's electoral votes, and I don't think that would have happened without Strom.

RFK would’ve made a great President! I guarantee it.

If Robert Kennedy wasn't assignated he would have probably won against Nixon

I personally believe that Bobby Kennedy would've won the nomination and the Presidency for two terms. After that, I really couldn't take a guess.

He would've been the first brother of a former president to also be president

I'm surprised you didn't mention McGovern and the effects of this election on the primary system

Please reply How's RFK vs nixon

Most historians agree RFK would have lost both democratic nomination and a head to head race with Nixon. And LBJ did not drop out of the race because of the Vietnam War or the Tet offensive. He had already put out memos to Abe Fortas, And 2 or 3 other close associates that he was tired, he was concerned about his health and that he felt like if he devoted the rest of his time as President to ending the war rather than get distracted by running for reelection that’s what he felt was best. But he did not run mainly due to family and concern for his health.LBJ also felt he had accomplished about all he could in his political life. Suggested Reading: Mutual Contempt written by Jeff Shesol. Well written and well researched book.

I don't know who "most historians" are, but the idea RFK would have lost so soon after his brother's assassination seems implausible.

An interesting one.

YOOOOOOOOOOO MR. BEAT I RECOGNIZE THAT FIRE I USED THAT EXACT RIOT FOOTAGE IN MY PROJECT ABOUT MLK'S DEATH

Yeah whoooo! You picked the best band ever for this election. But Sunshine Of Your Love came out in 1967.

This is actually one of the few elections my grandma can remember

I hope you read Lawrence O'Donnell's book about this election. Opens a lot of information not available earlier...

Need to read Lawrence O'Donnel's book on this campaign

This election is the last time in which a Republican won the election while losing Texas.

Mr. Beat, I thought Hubert Humphrey was against President Johnson's Vietnam War policy by wanting to cease U.S. bombardment in North Vietnam.

Wait, Thurmond didn't endorsed Wallace?

3:34 Curtis “Demon” Lemay. People back then: “Oh god that butcher!”

I enjoy your videos, but I notice you like to pronounce "Reagan" as "Regen" and "popular" as "popalar".
