4. LOL. I remember Ms. Quayle essentially saying W is the callow one, not my husband.

6. Have to say I understand why she would feel that way

As shallow as he is, W and Trump make him look like the Mariana Trench.

8. Bush vanquished some big names on his way to the nomination

Dan Quayle
Elizabeth Dole
John McCain.

I never thought I could dislike a president as much as Bush until Trump came along. You might disagree but I believe Bush was profoundly misguided. Trump is a fundamentally bad guy with a broken moral compass.

7. Nelson A. Rockefeller - Ford's VP 1974-77

Rockefeller sought the Republican presidential nomination in 1960, 1964, and 1968.

Or did you mean only after they had been VP?

9. I should have refined it further.

Ford's biggest mistake was dumping him for Dole.
