fear of being shot

They didn't. Whoever shot JFK "elected" LBJ by default.
Believe it or not, but LBJ spent the 50's as leader of the Senate burning every bridge possible. He got stashed away as VP just to get that ogre out of the chamber.
He spent the 60's killing the Kennedys.

Wellll.....
He did get the world's record for POTUS popular vote, so there's a decent chance he would have won anyway.

that sentence doesn't even parse you fuckhead.
LBJ got some southern votes for liberal Catholic (important back then) yankee JFK.
In the end it was JFKs movie star charisma that won the election, but as for him choosing LBJ, that's another story.
