First of all I don't believe that the GOP would give Nixon a third try. Even so, I see Humphrey as being a more popular President than LBJ. He would have ended the Vietnam War, appointed Nixon as Ambassador to China and had detente with the Soviet Union. I could see Reagan as the Rep Nominee. He would run a good race but still lose to Humphrey. Reagan would run again in 1976 and defeat Muskie for President.
Yes but that's a different topic on a different thread. All I was asking is what if Humphrey ran a second time in 1972 and chose Pennsylvania governor, Milton Schapp as his running mate?
Not to be pedantic, but his name was spelled Shapp not Schapp.
Also, Shapp was Jewish (His religion would have helped in some places, hurt in others). He also would have only been Governor for 1 year in 1972. Humphrey would likely not have chosen him based on this.
