If JFK were Stevenson's VP in 1956, would he have an eaiser time in 1960? Or would his carear be completely different and he wouldn't run for president until later or at all?

No, I don?t think that it would have been easier in 1960 for JFK if he had become Adlai Stevenson?s running mate in 1956.

There was no way that Stevenson was going to beat President Eisenhower in 1956, so Kennedy would have been the Vice Presidential nominee in a losing effort.? That?s not exactly a stepping-stone to the Presidency unless you are a superhero like Franklin D. Roosevelt.? JFK likely would have had any national ambitions in 1960 squashed because he would have been identified with Stevenson, and Stevenson?s stock had dropped dramatically after losing two straight Presidential elections by substantial margins.? And, by ?substantial?, I mean that he got the shit kicked out of him in both campaigns by General Eisenhower, who garnered over 400 Electoral votes in 1952 and 1956.

Being tied into a losing effort in 1956 with Stevenson would have been a tremendous setback in Kennedy?s shot at the Presidency.? If he had been the losing Vice Presidential candidate in 1956 and still sought the Presidency in 1960, Hubert H. Humphrey probably would have handled Kennedy pretty easily in the primaries and coasted to the Democratic nomination.? In that scenario, I still don?t think LBJ would have made too big of a splash if he decided to run in 1960.? Things would have definitely been far different than everything actually turned out because a weakened JFK would lose the Democratic nomination to HHH and then I seriously doubt that HHH would have been able to beat Richard Nixon in 1960.
