Could LBJ have handled the Commons sort of give and take? Maybe, however, he was most effective in "the back room deal." Very effective.
LBJ was hardly useless. His civil rights legislation was progressive. His domestic focus was broad, however, he had some blinders on as regards international affairs, which is too bad. His strengths in Congressional deal making did not seem to serve him as well in his international deal making.
Useless? No. Disappointing, however, given his considerable talent in the domestic political arena.
