Hubert was an election loser with class unlike Albert Arnold Gore who put the country through pure hell for more than a month in 2000. Hey, Earth to Al Gore, if you'd only won your own home state of TN, you'd have won the election. And you've never won any of the myriad Florida recounts, either.

The WRONG man won in 1968. Humphrey would have been able to do better things for this country then watergate. Sadly the best man or woman doesnt always win in politics.

@vccstudents ---thats y he lost, unfortunately. He would have been a good Pres

I think Humphrey was a great politician,unfortunately,he had to go up against
two political giants-Kennedy and Nixon
-
Humphrey was unfortunately running on Johnson's Vietnam record.

Humphrey should have won, he deserved it. The best president that America never had.

i dont think so... Franken is a qualified senators.. check his legislation records.
plus Franken is like Humprey, or Mondale is a progressive,, HHH will endorse Franken if he still live.

Humphrey was a good and decent man.With all the craziness that year it is almost amazing he did as good as he did.,in this election

HHH served his state and our country well, however he would be rolling over in his grave if he knew Al Franken was in the Senate.
HHH was a thoroughly decent man who came from very humble beginnings and never forgot it. One of the greatest presidents America never had - people laughed when he mentioned "going home to mow the lawn," but he did return to his longtime abode (in Minnesota) and did just that.

@antbanks35 Very true. His disrespect for the office and overabuse of his powers is what caused Americans to deeply resent "politicians" and distrust everything that has ever come out of their mouths since. Even the good ones are overlooked. If HHH had been elected, this country would have been in a much better condition; nothing perfect, but much better. No more Vietnam, no Watergate, no pardoning of a criminal.
