The response to the demonstrations was what lost Humphrey the election. Remember, too, that RFK won Californias delegates, (with the other peace candidate McCarthy second), the night he was assassinated. Nixon rode into the WH on a law and order platform enabled by live TV of police clashing with thousands of young people portrayed as violent protestors. The majority of Dems wanted to end that damn war, instead, we got the man who made it bigger.
