Yes, and the Hubert Humphrey 1968 one I have quoted here a couple of times.

He congratulated Nixon and his voice cracked as he said he had done his best and Mr. Nixon won and he had lost. Then he pledged to try for bipartisan agreement on some bills with him.

And Reagan met with Dem Tip O’Neill and said as in the recent movie that they were political opponents during the day in DC but become two Irishmen having some drinks together after dark.

Really antiquated sentiments as of today.

They used to act like gentlemen.
