He's no Tricky Dick! It is ridiculous to call JD Vance the worst VP pick EVER!

Vance is not the worst

The Dispatch posed the question “Is Rex Huppke right about former Columbus resident JD Vance (being the worst VP pick ever)?”

Let me reply with the following list of vice presidential picks.

Richard Nixon, aka “Tricky Dick,” who would later resign as president due to the Watergate scandal.

Rex Huppke JD Vance takes 'Worst VP pick EVER!' crown from Sarah Palin, and gets less likable every day

Letters to the editor Columnist called JD Vance the worst VP pick EVER. He is 1,000 percent correct.

Lyndon Baines Johnson, who would later as president send over 500,000 American troops to Vietnam with over 50,000 dead, and who was, and continues to be, mentioned as possibly connected to the assignation of President John F. Kennedy.

Spiro Agnew resigned due to bribery and extortion charges.

Thomas Eagleton, picked by George McGovern, lasted two weeks as vice presidential candidate before being replaced due to depression. He later received a diagnosis of bipolar II.

If you think talking about cat ladies is bad, how about John Kerry’s pick of John Edwards, whose wife had Stage 4 breast cancer while John was fathering a child with a staffer.

I just don’t see how this Huppke guy can be so ignorant of the past.

And just to balance Huppke’s hit piece on Vance, Tim Waltz apparently has a stolen valor problem and a DUI in his past.
