Johnson was the guy they wanted in but he was unelectable, IMO. They cheated to get their guy (Johnson) in position "a heartbeat away from the Presidency", then took out JFK once he started becoming a threat to the DS.
Nixon said as much. He and Kennedy had a phone call post election. Nixon new he was robbed but said Kennedy was a patriot and would do the right thing for the nation. So Nixon let it slide.
JFK's daddy knew all the mob people in the Democratic cities like Chicago, Detroit and New York and they handled the election for him. I don't know if JFK knew it but elections have been a illusion for a hundred years, Selected instead of elected!

E Howard Hunt seemed to say Johnson was the key man in that assassination (as per his death bed confession to his son)
Maybe his Dad was the cheater but when he was in office he wanted to do the right thing

Joe Kennedy quipped that he was only going to buy one election.
