He probably meant the ticket that didn't have one president commit ethnic cleansing and another who interned people without due process based on their "race".

I guess I didn't say who I would vote for, but TBH I like both of the candidates on both tickets. It would all depend on what kind of campaign they would run in a modern context.
Lincoln: A moderate-conservative Senator (because a Congressman winning the nomination is unlikely these days) from Illinois with a record and policies pretty similar to John Kasich
Reagan: A popular conservative Governor of California whose running a hopeful, idealistic campaign, so think Rubio

Jackson: A populist insurgent who's angry at the banks and big businesses for screwing over the little guy (Trump, Sanders hybrid)
Roosevelt: Also channeling hope and idealism, and has liberal rhetoric but a far more moderate and pragmatic record.

He's a communist. Ignore him. They don't let silly bourgeois things like logic, reason, and facts get in their way.

I don't get the point you're trying to make here. Matching up arguably the two best Republican presidents of all time against two racists for the Democratic Party, just so that the Republicans can look good? I believe that is called 'partisanship'.
Considering that this forum is hyperpartisan for Democrats, I wouldn't say that.  And I don't think I would call FDR a racist, either.  I think the idea was to use the first president from both parties, then use a more recent/modern day leader as the VP candidate.
Yep. Lincoln/Reagan was easy, and I considered doing Roosevelt/Clinton instead, but Andrew Jackson was the first, so I wanted him on there.
