When the hell was Carter surging at the polls???
To: ChicagoConservative27
This is when the media was still not using it’s control to the same effect that they are doing today.
They brought down Nixon, but could not resuscitate Carter with 18% home mortgage interest rates and ‘stagflation’.

That was then, this is now.
The Demoncrats of today are not the Democrats of yesterday.
They are much, much, MUCH worse.
Case in point. Does anyone think that the way Reagan framed the common ground between Republicans and Democrats exists today:
He delved into the substance of his remarks saying, "None of us today need feel any urge, in the name of good will, to downplay our differences. On the contrary, in a certain sense we can be proud of our differences, because they arise from good will itself---for love of country; for concern for the challenges of our time; from respect for, and yes, even outright enjoyment of, the democratic processes of disagreement and debate."
This article, and its premise, is simply empty-headed nostalgia.

Carter’s low point in the polls was late summer/early fall when Anderson was doing well. Carter’s “surge” was just recovering from those lows.

Democrats of yesterday would be canceled today.

Reagan and Carter though would prove that there are bigger things than ego. Is he kidding? Watch the 60 Minutes interview with Carter from 1985. Carter was bitter to the core.

Reagan defeated Russia in the Cold War. Darn shame we don’t have him around today.

I remember when Reagan gave his campaign speech at the Statue of Liberty on Labor Day, 1980. It was a hot day, and he took off his tie, unbuttoned his shirt, and rolled up his sleeves.
It was brilliant. Full of hope and courage. Made Carter seem stupid and frail.
Ron was ahead—until the election—from that very next day.

I doubt a Rino President in office in 1981 to 1989 would have brought about the freeing of the hostages in Iran, the dissolution of the USSR, or the fall of the Berlin Wall.
