From a Wall Street Journal book review by Richard Aldous headlined “‘Into the Bright Sunshine’ Review: Hubert Humphrey’s Crusade”:

It is true that history is not generally kind to presidential losers, but the reputation of Democratic nominee Hubert Humphrey endured an especially precipitous fall with his loss to Richard Nixon in 1968. Already loathed by many in his party for supporting the Vietnam War as vice president, he found himself losing not only the election but any vestige of the respect and goodwill he had once enjoyed.
