In 1980, Democratic President Jimmy Carter lost in a landslide to Ronald Reagan, 489-49 in the Electoral College. So naturally, Democrats concluded that Reagan had committed treason in order to steal the election, to wit: His campaign had conspired with Iranian ayatollahs to prevent 52 American hostages from being released until after the election.
And who can blame them? Carter’s economic policies had produced a 21% interest rate, a 17% mortgage rate and a 15% inflation rate in the coveted “hat trick” of presidential incompetence. His brilliant strategic ploy of abandoning the Shah of Iran had led to a 154% spike in oil prices and Islamic lunatics seizing our embassy and holding Americans hostage in Tehran, where they remained for 444 days, until Carter was safely removed from office.
With all that going for them — plus that old Mondale magic –Democrats were dumbstruck that they lost the 1980 election. What other than a dirty trick could explain it?
The Democrats’ theory was that a month before the election, members of Reagan’s campaign had clandestinely met with representatives of the Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini in Paris and offered to sell him weapons in exchange for a promise not to release the hostages, thus denying Carter a huge election eve triumph.
In other words, liberals believed the Islamo-fascist cutthroats who had been toying with Carter like a cat with a ball of yarn wanted Carter replaced by someone stronger, like Reagan. How else to explain the fact that, minutes after Reagan’s inauguration, the hostages were released?

LOL!
Ann should be feeling pretty good about herself.
All through the campaign, she kept saying Trump deserved to lose. He has not officially lost yet, but it’s not looking good. Happy now, Ann? You and FoxNews ‘did it’!
Another horse face weighs in. Lightly, I may add, as skeletons are not heavy.
Just like the Dems wholeheartedly accepted his victory four years ago?
.
The witch used to be on Howie Carr every week - he finally couldn’t take anymore of her hate.
because his supporters don’t accept defeat. Trump has no choice.....
What is the story why Ann Coulter turned against Trump after the 2016 election?
Trump, through this ballot battle, is finding out who his true and loyal friends are.
later
I can live without the AC’s of the world.
But we not only want Trump but we seriously need Trump.
I remember back in the late 90's, early 2000's, a lot of FReepers somehow thought Ann Coulter was hot. Every time a thread was started after one of her articles, someone would post a picture of her with the caption "Rules". I always thought she looked like a skinny skank. I remember she would show up sometimes on Faux Snooze RedEye and she would be put to shame by some of the beautiful Fox Infobabes that were on the same panel. However, she is a witty writer and still occasionally comes up with a good one.
he didnt lose...why didnt u say this when thew demon rats lost //
she was being sarcastic
[[What is the story why Ann Coulter turned against Trump after the 2016 election?]]
she is a mitt romney lover- and Trump likely told the truth about mitt at some point- and she got bent out of shape about it i beleive is the story
The Democrats nickname for accepting defeat is "The Al Franklin Bag Job...they've been perfecting it for years.
Ann Coulter...you are a first class idiot. Only fools accept cheating as a final outcome. Who is paying her to be stupid?!
This headline will make a great meme to flood the liberal socialist media with.
