To me, Garner, like Harry Truman, was a respectable guy who stood by what he believed and seemed to treat others with honor and respect. Although I don't agree with their political views, I admire that kind of person.

As far as the prejudice against certain legitimate backgrounds like acting goes, one of America's best Governors and Presidents was a former actor, so that prejudice is obviously flawed IMO. It's not the background, it's the man.

Sorry.

I know too much about Truman to ever consider him even remotely “respectable”.

He was himself a veteran of our armed forces in time of war.
His treatment of some of those who served under him as Commander In Chief was execrable.
