What happened in Chicago at the Democratic convention in 1968?
Yes. The 1968 Democratic Convention was in Chicago, Ill and it was a disaster for the Democrats. In 1968; the Rev. Martin Luther King and Senator Robert Kennedy were murdered in the spring. The Tet offensive in South Vietnam was an embarrassment for President Lydon Baines Johnson and he decided not to run again for reelection. His Vice President Hubert Humphrey looked like a wimp. There were massive demonstrations in the street, (mainly by men of draft age who might be sent to Vietnam to fight in the war), and Mayor Richard Daley's police offices used strong arm tactics which looked like a police state. The country watched it all on television with horror and shock. It was no surprise when Republican candidate Richard Nixon was elected in November. The failure of the Democrats in Chicago made them look terrible. It was probably the worst national convention of any political party in the history of the USA.
