    really underrated guy. hard worker, respected by both parties, inherited probably the worst circumstances he possibly could and still held it all together. had a reputation as being a bit punchy but actually very, very astute. Surprisingly liberal as well. And known for being very honest and forthright. A lot of people well after the fact have agreed he probably did the right thing in pardoning nixon and avoiding a very divisive and emotionally charged trial. His own view of it was that in pardoning someone it implies they were guilty of the crime. Personally think Nixon should have been punished but sometimes you have to let things go to move on with your life...

      Yeah I agree, I think Gerald ford had great views. The problem with the pardoning Nixon issue isn't spescifically that he shouldn't have, but the pardoning made Ford look like one of Nixons' cronies.

      But he's the only vice president to succeed to the presidency without even being elected vice president. He was appointed by the later-to-be-disgraced criminal Richard Nixon. That's why I put the word "incumbent" in quotes.
