Assassinating Lincoln to bring Andrew Johnson to power did advance John Wilkes Booth’s politics but this was sort of an accident — the plot called for Johnson to be shot too which if it has worked would have put Radical Republicans in charge. — PolitiTweet.org

An interesting thing about assassins is almost all the ones I can think of in US history are in some sense “crazy.” It’s never a highly rational plan to flip partisan control of a senate seat, we’ve never seen a Pelican Brief scenario. James Earl Ray maybe the exception. — PolitiTweet.org
