The only time Dem VPs become President lately, is if the Prez dies.
Little factoid...the last time an outgoing Democrat president watched an incoming Democrat president take the oath of office was in 1857. For Republicans, it was 1989.
“The only time Dem VPs become President lately, is if the Prez dies.”
The same way LBJ became Prez when JFK was assassinated. I was old enough to watch in horror as Landslide Lyndon (1948) led us into the Great Society, the Vietnam War, the Gun Control Act of 1968, and other liberal outrages.
LBJ bailed in 1968 and croaked in 1973; I’m proud to say I have already outlived ol’ Loose Brains Johnson.
