I would think Democrats were beyond bummed when their semi-phony, young, vibrant, Bostonian firebrand was killed and replaced with an old, ugly, racist Texan. Hell, the only reason LBJ won an election of his own was because he pulled the first "gotta keep me in here to clean up the giant mess I made" George W-style election.
I think JFK being replaced by a venerable Texan and then the Nixon years were the one-two punch that KOd Democrats in the late 60's-early 70's.
That whole run up until 1980 was a bad run for the country.
