You wanted Humphrey to defeat Nixon?

Reagan , Rockefeller, Romney and someone else ran against Nixon in 1968.

Humphrey, McGovern ran in 1972.....there wouldn't have been a Humphrey running if Reagan won in 1968.....

Good question. Humphrey would have been a feeble, ineffective president. There wasn't much he'd be able to do with a divided party and half the country against him. Would it have been better to let him cope with the mess until the country threw him out in the next election?
