Johnson had been in congress for years before he was Vice President. He knew how to legislate and knew congress. Understanding government is a critical part of getting bills passed. President Ford once commented that the only difference between politics in his time and Washington's was his was lit by electricity and Washington used candles. Politics is more than just stopping legislative actions, but it is knowing how to negotiate a deal. We seem to have lost this idea.
