TLTIMD: For Want Of A Hat

While he was more interventionist than Marcantonio (though that's an extremely low bar), Morse wasn't an interventionist by any means. The guy was one of only two Senators to oppose the Gulf on Tonkin Resolution.
The Three factions of the party with foreign policy are Hawk (who the nominee is from) interventionist (which is a criticism of Butler's foreign policy but not a strong one) and Dove (isolationist)

Since i not have time to write a update here are some foreshadowing quotes for the sixties

"Today the President has passed the land mark All Rights Amendment.... we now wait to see if it can pass through the states..."
-NBC 1961

"The first shots of a possible conflict on the divided island of Sakhalin between the Empire of Japan and the Soviet Union have been fired..."
-NBC 1962

"Federal troops attempting to enforce the All Rights amendment have been pushed back by well equipped paramilitary forces in the South... President Jackson vows retaliation... Southern units deployed in the fighting zones are defecting to the paramilitaries and federal bases are also defecting en mass there...Southern politicians leave Washington in protest..."

NBC 1963


The time of suffering is ahead...
