Much discussion is being made these days over who Trump should pick as his vice presidential candidate.
But we're not here to discuss that. We are here today to discuss the last good and effective vice president. Or maybe talk about the veeps that have done great harm and damage to our nation. Especially those individuals that have gone on to become president.
Here in the last 70 years or so is the list of Vice Presidents. Which were good, bad or indifferent?
Kamala Harris
Mike Pence
Joe Biden
Dick Cheney
Al Gore
Dan Quayle
George HW Bush
Walter Mondale
Nelson Rockefeller
Gerald Ford
Spiro Agnew
Hubert Humphrey
Lyndon Johnson
Richard Nixon
“Oh I forgot about Truman. He was good. A 4 out of 5 rating on the good scale. He didn’t always agree with FDR policies.”
FDR and Churchill tried to divide up control of the so called free world, post War II between the two countries.
Truman and Ike knew that our OSS and similar organizations in the so called free world could basically control the world,
So they tried to minimize their power.
So the cold war was started before WWII was over.
The UK, America, 5 eyes, Nato and the UN versus the commies in Russia, China, NK and Cuba.
The so called Cold War is still going on with the Middle East thrown in as a bonus.
Basically our side had the 5 eyes countries and Nato set up to rule the world.
Russia and China became our enemies around the world, post WWII.
Agnew, “Impudent snobs.”
Calvin Coolidge just never gets any respect.
Nixon is a 1 and no one else on that list comes close.
Before he became VP, Nixon nailed Alger Hiss and exposed the communist rot of the State Department - as bad then as the Deep State is today.
As VP he nearly got killed in Caracas, Venezuela where he strongly debated with communists and anti-Americans. The attack on his motorcade was almost like Benghazi. Eisenhower had to send U.S. troops to rescue Nixon.
He unveiled American capitalism to Nikita Khrushchev by giving him a tour of one of our supermarkets and was known for his Kitchen Debate with Khrushchev where the Russian leader decried modern conveniences that made women’s lives easier. ( he may have had a point there - just kidding ladies )
I much preferred Nixon as VP than as President.
