Vice presidential candidates and the National Guard

That’s the topic of this week’s C-SPAN podcast “The Weekly.”

So, we’re talking about Tim Walz, right?

Nope. Dan Quayle.

"Since 1980, I've been a United States Senator from Indiana - and very proud of it. Before that, I was a member of the United States House of Representatives -- and proud of it. And as a young man I served six years in the National Guard. And like millions of Americans who have served in Guard , I served ...and I’m proud of that"

How did he handle it?

And -- any lessons learned by a 1988 running mate which might be helpful for a 2024 running mate -- also under National Guard scrutiny?
