1992: VP
1996: VP
2000: President
2004: President
2008: President
2012: President

Edit: For each party:
1960: VP for both
1964: VP for both

2016: VP
2012: VP
2008: President
2004: President

Idk about before that

What’s the difference between 2000 and 2004 for you?

1960: President (D), VP (R)
1964: President (D), President (R)
1968: President (D), President (R)
1972: VP (D), President (R)
1976: President (D), President (R)
1980: President (D), VP (R)
1984: VP (D), VP (R)
1988: VP (D), President (R)
1992: President (D), President (R)
1996: President (D), President (R)
2000: President (D), President (R)
2004: President (D), President (R)
2008: President (D), President (R)
2012: President (D), President (R)
2016: President (D), VP (R)
2020: President (D), VP (R)

In 1964, 1968, 1972, 1996, 2000, 2004, 2016, and 2020, my real answer is “neither” for the GOP ticket as I dislike both candidates.

It’s really “neither” for both tickets in 1972, honestly.

In 1960, 1964, 1992, 1996, 2008, and 2012, my real answer is “both” for the Democratic ticket as I really like both candidates.

There is a wide gap between who I prefer on the GOP ticket and the other candidate in 1960, 1976, 1980, 1984, 1988, 1992, 2008, and 2012.

There is a wide gap between who I prefer on the Democratic ticket and the other candidate in 1976, 1980, 1988, 2000, 2004, and 2016.

John Edwards is literally the worst VP nominee in modern history imo. I’d vote for AOC or someone else like that over Edwards, without hesitation.

Also, Bush was more hawkish in 2004.
