The Tet offensive in South Vietnam was an embarrassment for President Lydon Baines Johnson and he decided not to run again for reelection. His Vice President Hubert Humphrey looked like a wimp. There were massive demonstrations in the street, (mainly by men of draft age who might be sent to Vietnam to fight in the war), and Mayor Richard Daley's police offices used strong arm tactics which looked like a police state.
