Losing as VP on ticket

[SamSpade]

With the exception of Nixon - it’s been a while since a VP - who lost an election - later came back and won. In my lifetime - only Bush 1 was a VP who won - Biden notwithstanding. (Failing - Humphrey, Ford, Mondale, Gore).

BUT - I can’t recall a VP on a ticket that lost - come back and win at the TOP of the ticket. Ford had Dole - lost. Dole lost. Mondale had Ferraro, Dukakis had Bentsen, Bush had Quayle (in re-election), Dole had Kemp, Gore had Lieberman, Kerry had Edwards - Palin, Ryan, Kane, Pence. Etc.

Notice a pattern? If you take the VP slot - and LOSE - you’re more or less finished.

Gut feeling? Some of the politicians turning down the Harris VP slot are hedging their bets. They know if they ACCEPT - and LOSE - they’re screwed.

For better or worse, the VP is tarnished by the P's legacy. So if - when - Kamala takes Joe's crown as Worst POTUS Ever, the VP's career is finished.

Which is fine because most of them leave public office to be leftwing college professors that never teach a single class, or sit on a board making million$ for a no-show position. But for anyone who is motivated by power as opposed to money, VP is a loser especially on the heels of a highly unpopular president.

Had Kamala been voted on instead of chosen by the overlords, she wouldn't be the nominee right now. Everyone knows that. She also has a rep for being a raving bitch to her staff. So you have to wonder which of the Demcucks will want to be her second banana.

It will be someone who is both desperate and stupid, you know someone that pretty much is a clone of Kamala.
