Great post.

There is no reason to believe that 2016 will not be like 1980.

Especially when the media and the pollsters are even more leftist than they were in 1980.

...and then Reagan won by a landslide even winning most of the Northeast except for Maryland, DC, and West Virginia. Carter also won Hawaii, Minnesota, his home state of Georgia, and that was it with election-eve polls calling it “too close to call”.

History tends to repeat itself, like it or not. This does remind me of 1980.

What I remember about the 1980 election is the expression on Rosalynn Carter’s face when Jimmy gave his concession speech. Such a look of anger, it’s etched in my mind.

I remember the one Reagan/Carter debate. The single takeaway line from that event was when Reagan challenged Carter's attack on his opposition to Medicare and social security benefits while he was serving as governor of California.

He chuckled and tossed Carter the one-liner, "There you go again."

Another great moment was when Reagan faced the camera and spoke to the nation:

Are you better off than you were four years ago? Is it easier for you to go and buy things in the stores than it was four years ago? Is there more or less unemployment in the country than it was four years ago? Is America as respected throughout the world as it was four years ago? Do you feel that our security is as safe, that we're as strong as were were four years ago?

What amazes me the most right now is that Trump is even with Clinton despite running almost no ads and the 24/7 full-court press by the media to disparage Trump and bury Clinton's criminal behavior.

It's really incredible.

I’ll never forget those hostages being released as soon as Reagan was elected.
