Nixon has a grandson with an undergraduate degree in politics, a law degree, worked in John McCainâs 2008 presidential campaign, and ran for Congress in 2010. Endorsed by Jeb Bush.
But he needs a few months in Congress or as a governor before being seen as qualified to run for the White House. But at least thereâs some hope for the GOP in 2020 besides Jeb!.
BTW, does this mean that we can refer to Jeb! now without the exclamation point?
How about - Jeb?!

Uh⌠Eisenhower?
Who would be totally unelectable as he was too liberal for the current frothing at the mouth party.
Who was his veep?

Wasnât my point⌠my point was that he was a republican elected president and it was after 1928.
Okay, fair enough, technically accurate historical cite. But I seriously doubt that people voted for him because of Nixon. People generally donât vote for the veep. Nixon also lost in 1960 and he had a bit of scandal while in office as the veep, which is probably partially why he lost in 60. Iâd also say he won in 1968, because of the DNC and their inability to bring together all the wings of their party. The democrats backed the war, officially, and the youth revolted against that, went with McGovern, and they got trounced because the adult democrats felt that he didnât represent their views on the war⌠plus, Nixon ran on a âsecret planâ to get us out of vietnam, and he struck a law and order tone (plus, the dreaded southern strategy).
The best kind of accurate!
Itâs a silly statistic but it amuses me. Nixon was on 5 tickets, Bush 41 on 4, Bush 43 on 2. Thatâs about half the elections in that time, and they won most of them.
I guess Jeb! could still be a VP (although he wonât).
That was '72, wasnât it? Nixon beat Humphrey in '68.
Didnât the Democrats also want Ike to be their candidate?

Yes! Wallace, however, did run to the racist right of Nixon and split the vote, but Humphrey couldnât get traction because of the youth vote.
How about I shut up, since clearly, presidential history is not my field! 
Eisenhowerâs VP was Nixon.
The quote should be âThe last time GOP won without a Bush or Nixon on the ticket was 1928.â
(Of course, Trump could still pick Jeb! as his VP candidate.)

So while Clinton gets the war criminal endorsements, Rubio is busy getting the terrorist funding / sympathizer ones.

Two New Yorkers on the ticket, I think that would be a first. Itâs too bad Giuliani wasnât in this race, his run for '08 was one of my favorite campaigns.
