Perhaps he was such a decent man because he wasn’t elected, sparing him the meatgrinding microscope that was the process even then.
His reputation for being clumsy was due to his being left-handed in a right-handed world. The slip on the aircraft stairs is a great example. When he got on the plane they used a stairway with rails on both sides. When he got off, looking and waving at the crowd, he reached to his left for the railing only to learn (the hard way) that there wasn’t one.
