Was he an adult when Carter held office? Because even as a young adult, it was obvious he was a disaster. I grew up a Democrat because of my maternal grandmother’s influence, but when it came time to vote for Carter’s re-election, my first Presidential, I couldn’t do it. And have voted Republican since.

Yeah, he’s in his 70s, now. He did well with high taxes, high inflation, so he seems to believe that all of our problems would be solved if we raised taxes on the rich, and gave raises to all of the minimum wage earners.

My first election, I voted for Carter. I came home from school at about 5 ( west coast time), and watched the news. Carter’s concession speech led the stories. I wasn’t going to go vote after that, but my parents talked me into it.
