It was difficult to assess the real popularity of the revolution given the extremes of the Castro regime at the time. However let us assume it to be popular, I do not believe it could survive a determine US government which was open to total invasion and suppression.
Kennedy wanted to conceal the true nature of US policies and intentions. Other elements in US felt that once the invasion was undertaken, the US should have taken off its own mask and get creative.
