The problem with Humphrey in 1968 was that out of loyalty to LBJ he refused to distance himself from Vietnam policy and the draft, which led to rejection by voters, particularly youth, who opposed the war in Vietnam.
Any resonances there?

"The chaos of 1968 had nothing to do with him stepping down" Like I'm sure even if he still ran there would be protests in Chicago, but to say NONE OF IT happened because he stepped down?

Not that I in any way agree with the people calling for Biden to drop out of the race, but I feel compelled to note that the "and then what happened" includes the assassination of Bobby Kennedy. Without that, who knows how things would have gone?
