They say “anyone can become president”, but this will be the first presidential election since 1970s, where there is no Bush, Clinton, or Biden on the ballot.

Nixon, Ford, Carter were 70’s, not after the 70’s. Reagan’s VP was a Bush, wasn’t it? Maybe they’re also including the primary ballots to count Clinton in 2008? But I don’t think she ran in 2012…

Biden was Obama’s VP.

Oh yeah… no clue how I forgot about that. Guess I was specifically thinking about Clinton/Bush because they’re the ones who’ve had multiple in the family on the ballot.
