Dan Quayle says he's glad President George H.W. Bush picked him to be his vice president instead of Donald Trump.
Quayle discussed how Trump let Bush's camp know that he was interested in becoming the vice president in the 1988 campaign, during an interview with host John Catsimatidis on "The Cats Roundtable" on AM 970 in New York.

no story here. No particular reason he was glad GWB did not pick Trump. Quayle was glad he was chosen,

Trump would have cinched a second term.

Thank you Dan Quayle. Now I can sleep again.

So is Murphy Brown.
The media used Dan Quayle like a human pinata.
I remember when Lloyd Bentsen chapped his hide in the 1988 VP debate, and he sat there grinning like a Cheshire cat.
There were so many others that should have been chosen.
I never understood why Bush picked Quayle.
To me, it was not prudent......

Is that because Trump could have won the nomination and defeated Bill Clinton in 1996, or that with Trump at his side, Bush would not have lost in 1992 ?

You are being too hard on Quayle. He was taken down because the left wing press did a number on him. You sound like them?

If Trump had spelled the famous tuber as "Potatoe" it would have been spelled that way in every dictionary within a year.

A teacher misspelled the word on the placard and Quayle, being a good sport, read off it.

"Lord the guy gets a pension for 4 years as VP doing nothing. Completely took down the nation cause he stupid and can’t spell.

If GHWB would have listened to Dan Quayle and Bill Bennett when they told him Mr President don't go with the Senator Mitchell deal, Bill Clinton would have ended up in Divorce Court and be living in a trailer park chasing bimbos...
Dan Quayle was Sarah Palin before she was Sarah. They had to destroy him and they did and we are a more Fubared up nation because of it. He was damn good talent and it was a Dang shame they took him out of the running for anything...
