@BeschlossDC I Hadn't heard of such a feud. Any brief description of its cause, or too complex to tweet? -
@acobasi@FOLIVER4U@BeschlossDC Thanks. Just been reading more on the matter.It seems Ike had little enthusiasm for being Truman's playmate -
@chriswdrew@acobasi@BeschlossDC guessing Ike thought HST lucked into the job. Probably didn't help the relationship.#thx -
@FOLIVER4U@acobasi@BeschlossDC HST "lucked"?Always thought he was chosen as a virtual President-elect counterpoint to a dying FDR. Not so? -
@chriswdrew@acobasi@BeschlossDC I love this exchange. Sorry I was away for it. Wallace eventually ran for Prez as a Progressive-- -
@chriswdrew@acobasi@BeschlossDC deeply fascinating guy. Not a Commie hater tho and by late 44 that was a problem bc of postwar worries-- -
@chriswdrew@acobasi@BeschlossDC FDR DID NOT let on that he was super ill. Thus, no succession planning or info for HST.#thxagain

@BeschlossDC why the feud? Didn't Truman offer Ike the nom in 48? What changed?#thx -
@FOLIVER4U@BeschlossDC He tried to recruit Ike to be the Dem nom in '52. Then Truman basically said Ike would be in over his head as POTUS. -
@acobasi@BeschlossDC aha thx. It's hard to pass the baton isn't it? -
@FOLIVER4U@BeschlossDC Yeah but Truman had come to the conclusion he could not be re-elected in 1952. So he tried to recruit who he felt
