A sister thread to an idea I had in the Before 1900 thread. Basically, of all the 20th century vice presidents who never became president themselves, or ending up running for it, which do you think would make the best president if elected on their own term? Write down why your choice would've been the best, and maybe what would have to happen to get them president(excluding the president dying of course).

T.R, Coolidge, Truman, Nixon, LBJ, Humphrey, Ford, Bush Sr, Mondale and Gore are excluded because they became or ran for president on a main party. Fairbanks, Sherman, Marshall, Dawes, Curtis, Garner, Wallace, Barkley, Agnew, Rockefeller and Quayle are included. You can handwave their OTL deaths, but at most by 10 years
