Haven’t even seen any photos yet of our doors and how the lines were. The public, I mean, not all the VIPs.

I’m really curious how “popular” he was.

I’m aware it was cold, but I’m still curious how it would compare to Regan, e.g.

Dammit, autocorrect must have put in “station” instead of STATS.

The only thing I read was that there was the line extended out of the Capitol doors. I waited eight hours to see Reagan’s casket at the Capitol and the line was not only out the door but went around and around the Capitol.

I looked for that info, too, after seeing an article mentioning hundreds in DC and thousands in Georgia.

Here is an 11-hour video of Carter lying in state: PBS: WATCH: Former President Jimmy Carter lies in state at the U.S. Capitol Rotunda

It's only 11 hours out of the total 29 hours, but it's what I could find.

Here is a photo from Fox News showing the line to view Carter.

There wasn’t a big turn out for Carter or else we would have seen them on TV. On the other hand, Reagan’s turn out was huge. I remember how liberals grinded their teeth over the love and affection people expressed for him.

We went to see Ford. If I recall correctly, we went on New Years Day. It was a rainy day and no line. I am sure the low temperatures kept some people away from Carter.

When I was getting my hair cut the other day, some of the women were discussing that they had not been born when Carter was President. Most people who remember the Carter presidency are at least 55 years old.

We stood in line for Ronald Reagan in blasting heat for around 4 hours. The line out on the Capitol lawn wound around and around, between temporary bike-rack barriers.
