Tim Kaine Mike Pence
The 2016
Presidential campaign is well under way and
both Donald
Trump and Hillary Clinton have picked their
Vice
Presidential running mates. Picking a running
mate
in politics
is not much different than picking a marriage
partner. You
first have to have chemistry, then you become
more
rational and look at their other qualities. The analysts
try to look
deeper into the reason for the selection. They look
at demographics,
their stands on various issues, how they
mesh with
the Presidential candidate. This helps
fill up the
time and may
even bring in a few viewers. However, If you
understand birth
order you know that it’s none of those
things, it
is “love at first sight.”
Two Types of Love at First Sight
The first
type is when you find someone of your same birth
order. You are twins in more ways than one. You tend to
think the same way and that
makes you feel good. The problem is that only one of you is the “Top Dog,” you both
can’t fill The same shoes. Not a problem for President and
Vice President. The second kind of “love at
first sight” is a
person that matches the birth order of one of your
siblings.
You grew up with this person
so you understand
their specific
birth order. This becomes a very easy relationship,
more like
a family with each person playing a different
role.
Runnings Mates from the Past:
Evidence
Ronald
Reagan a #2 Picked George H.W. Bush a
#2
(Both had
older brothers)
George H.W.
Bush #2 Picked Dan Quayle a #1
(Matched
George’s older brother)
George W.
Bush #1/0 Picked Dick Cheney a #1
(Matching
birth orders)
Mitt Romney
a #4/0 Picked Paul Ryan a #4/0
(Both
matched birth orders)
Bill Clinton
an #0/1 Picked Al Gore an #0/2
(Gore had
the same birth order as Roger Clinton )
Barack Obama
a #1/0 Picked Joe Biden a #1
(Both had
the firstborn birth order)
Hillary’s pick: Tim Kaine
Tim Kaine is
a #1 birth order the same as Hillary.
Hillary had
two younger brothers exactly the same as
Tim Kaine. As firstborns they both want to be in charge
and lead the
way. Firstborns have a lot of trouble ever
admitting
they are wrong. Hillary had to fight harder to
hold her
position with younger brothers. Tim had
the
luxury of holding
his position easily being a very good
student. All
birth orders have two sides and he shows
the softer
side of the #1 birth order. He gets his control
by helping
others. Doing missionary work in
Honduras
had a great
impact on his life.
Trump’s Pick: Mike Pence
Mike Pence
comes from a family of six children.
Mike is
the Third
born with two older brothers and one younger.
It was
difficult for Trump to match his #1/4 birth order.
Mike does
have a #1 brother and a #4 brother making it
easier for him
to understand Donald. In Mike, Donald
matched a
sibling in his family. His sister
Elizabeth, she is
the third sibling.
Mike almost matches with her. She is 4yrs
older than
Donald giving her a #3/0 double birth order. This
is the other
type of “love at first sight.” As a Third born Mike
would see
the world globally. The saying “laughing on the
outside
crying on the inside” is a Third born. They protect
their
sensitive side so you don’t always see what you get.
They care
about others and can really “feel your pain.”
When
Pence was a
high school student he helped twin boys with
muscular dystrophy.
Third born Mike would see Politics as
a way to
change the world. He also underwent a
spiritual
transformation
in college. At one time in his life he was
thinking about
the Priesthood. This is not unusual for the
Third born.
Future Debate
There will
be a debate between these two men. I am
sure
It will be
as interesting as the debates to come between Hillary
and Trump,
two more people with very different birth orders.
