Harry Truman on the Democrats differences and the need to stick together.

There were a lot of people at that time who disagreed with me. And they had a lot to say in editorials and columns, and newspapers. Ninety percent of them were of the opinion that somebody else would be president now. I am sorry to have disappointed them!

I am most happy, most happy, to have together all the September Democrats, and the October Democrats--and the Monday Democrats, and the Tuesday Democrats, and the Wednesday Democrats!
