The what if, and historical parallel, to ponder, however, is between Nixon and Gore -- both boring vice presidents to popular incumbents who lost to scions of political families. In both cases, the young presidents were tested by foreign crises, leaving the country stuck in unwinnable wars in distant lands. That is, not only did Hillary Clinton lose twice to rank political underdogs, but she might also have thwarted two vice presidents in the process. He reminded me that The Simpsons predicted the current American president.
