Jackie Kennedy’s cartoons from the 1960 campaign show a cartoon of “Texans” Lyndon Johnson and Sam Rayburn shaking hands with JFK and the big Texan LBJ is squeezing a tiny frail JFK’s hand to the point that it hurts:

Hat tip to author Sean Fetter who pointed this out in his book Under Cover of Night: The United States Air Force and the Assassination of John F. Kennedy
That means Jackie knew all about the threats and blackmail tactics that LBJ and Sam Rayburn used to force JFK to Johnson on the 1960 Demo ticket as VP
The above cartoon shows two burly Texas Rangers strong arming a skinny, weak John F. Kennedy. Those two big, burly, dominating Texas Rangers are Lyndon Johnson in the middle and Sam Rayburn on the left. Lyndon Johnson is shown not just shaking JFK's hand but rather "crushing" JFK's hand to the point of pain. This 1960 campaign cartoon by Jackie proves that she knew all about the blackmailing that LBJ and Sam Rayburn did on John Kennedy to force JFK to include Lyndon Johnson on the 1960 Democratic ticket as Vice President.
JFK is in a rush to get on an airplane and he is with his daughter Caroline who obviously does not want him to go.
JFK is giving a speech in the above Jackie cartoon
The Jackie cartoon above makes fun of how skinny JFK was
