Comments: Before the 1952 Republican National Convention, former President Hoover enthusiastically endorsed Senator Robert Taft for president. Hoover believed that Taft better aligned with his conservative principles and belief in a limited federal government. When Eisenhower won the nomination, Hoover was asked to give a nominating speech, which he did. Hoover never liked Eisenhower, believing that he had not done enough to dismantle the New Deal policies of the 1930’s.
