Dirty scoundrels back then, and nothing has changed.

1944 was a low point for "democracy" in the democrat party. The
apparatchiks in the party rammed Truman through in spite of the fact
that Wallace (the incumbent) was the popular choice for VP and
ultimately the president. There will always be speculation that if we
had simply presented the terms the Japanese signed in Tokyo Bay in the
spring of 45 they would have signed then. We were still insisting on
them losing the emperor before the bomb.
