I see in discussions of Ford running in 1980 that he would need a more conservative running mate. Jack Kemp and Bob Dole are names I've seen floated.
What about Donald Rumsfeld?
He was a supply-sider who while in Congress would frequently go to the University of Chicago to listen to Friedman's lectures. He's also comparably qualified to HW in 1980, having been a 3-term Congressman, Director of the Office of Economic Opportunity, Counselor to the President, Director of the Cost of Living Counsel, NATO Ambassador, Chief of Staff, and Secretary of Defense.
