•"Richard Nixon is a no-good lying bastard.  He can lie out of both sides of his mouth at the same time, and if he ever caught himself telling the truth, he’d lie just to keep his hand in…[Nixon is] the easiest man to beat.“ – Harry Truman, 1960

•"If Nixon had to stick to the truth, he’d have very little to say.  You don’t set a fox to watching the chickens just because he has a lot of experience in the henhouse…Nixon has never told the truth in his life…He is against the small farmer.  He is against small business, agriculture, public power.  I don’t know what the hell he’s for, and that bird has the nerve to come to Texas and ask you to vote for him.  If you do, you ought to go to hell.” – Harry Truman, 1960

•"I wonder how many people remember our history and realize how close Jefferson came to losing the election in 1800, and how close Aaron Burr came to being our third President, which would have been as bad as electing Richard Nixon today.“ – Harry Truman, 1960

•"I never liked Kennedy.  I hate his father.  Kennedy wasn’t so great a Senator…However, that no-good son-of-a-bitch Dick Nixon called me a Communist and I’ll do anything to beat him.” – Harry Truman, 1960

•"I don’t think the son-of-a-bitch knows the difference between truth and lying.“ – Harry Truman

LOL, hard stuff... Truman was always very blunt in his words.

Who did he actually support for the 1960 Dem nomination? I think either Stevenson again or Johnson.
