He actually was a pretty good candidate, but ran as a third party candidate. Third party people have never done well in elections and that did him in.
In 1959, no one ran for President as it was an off-year for presidential elections in the United States. The next presidential election was held in 1960, when Richard Nixon ran as the Republican candidate and John F. Kennedy ran as the Democratic candidate.
Theodore Roosevelt was the Republican Party candidate in 1904 and the Progressive Party candidate in 1912. That was the last time the candidate of a party other than the Republican Party or the Democratic Party came in 2nd in a U. S. Presidential election.
George Wallace ran as a third party candidate. He received 46 electoral votes. The popular vote totals were Nixon 31,785,480, Humphrey 31,275,166, and George Wallace 9,906,473.

The first successful third party candidate in the United States was Abraham Lincoln, who ran as a Republican in the 1860 presidential election and won. His victory marked a significant shift in American politics as it was the first time a third party candidate had won the presidency.
Wallace wanted to end desegregation efforts and unite southerners under a new party.
