Was a Congressman and Senator for nearly 20 years before he entered the 1968 campaign against a president who was massively unpopular in his own party (a campaign which he lost). His one influence was to push Johnson out of the race, get Humphrey nominated in his place and help launch the Nixon presidency.
How are the two situations in any way similar?
