It was 1928 the last time the GOP won without a Nixon or a Bush on the ticket. Americans have always elected the sleaziest candidate they could find. It seems the GOP has a hard time finding somebody sleazy enough. But we have a bumper crop this time around.
And, since some nitwit always challenges that, here is the list:
Herbert Hoover March 4, 1929 – March 4, 1933 NO BUSH, NO NIXON
Ike January 20, 1953 – January 20, 1961 VP Richard Nixon
Richard Nixon January 20, 1969 – August 9, 1974
Ronald Reagan January 20, 1981 – January 20, 1989 VP George H. W. Bush
George H. W. Bush January 20, 1989 – January 20, 1993
George W. Bush January 20, 2001 – January 20, 2009
