The LBJ Fallacy
By Those who claim that we need a man like Lyndon Johnson today; that a new LBJ could handle the Senate through his own personality and politicking forget that the Republican Party is increasingly made up of radicals like the likely next senator from Indiana, Richard Mourdock, who believes that bipartisanship is an evil that must be shunned and punished at all times.
No LBJ could convince Richard Mourdock or so many other Republicans to do anything because they’d see him as the antichrist.
