Apparently the Teamsters gave the JFK election to him....then he betrayed them.
As DK points out, the mob then moved over to support Nixon in 1968, a very close election, Wallace, a spoiler for the Democrats.
Question: Did the Teamsters do for Nixon in 1968 what they had done on the other side for Kennedy? That makes a lot of sense.
But Nixon I think would take money from anyone, then later work out what he would do, just as Kennedy had done. That may be why he delayed so long in springing Hoffa: others had payed him something not to do it.
These are America's great politicians......
