“VP choices mean nothing.”

You got that right. Who cares? The Veep’s the guy who stands next to the gun carriage pretending to hold the horses’ reigns.
John Nance Garner once described the office of the vice presidency as being “not worth a bucket of warm piss.”

Who was John Nance Garner?
John Nance Garner IV nicknamed “Cactus Jack” (November 22, 1868 – November 7, 1967) was the forty-fourth Speaker of the United States House of Representatives (1931-33) and, yes.....
the thirty-second Vice President of the United States (1933-41).
