I don’t think even Reagan would have won by such a margin if he had been running against anyone but Jimmy- I remember the Carter years- I liked Reagan, but the truth is I would have voted for anyone but Carter.

Actually, Reagan won 49 states in '84. ...against Mondale.

At last. Someone hits it over the fence. We had a very young family then. Days I can never forget. Interest rates at 18%. No money, just taxes, incredible high prices, worrying about feeding your kids, and the people of this country were outraged. They went to the polls to vote for anyone but Carter. It had nothing to do with conservatism really.

Thank goodness Reagan turned out to be the answer to an economic nightmare. Then they came out in droves to re-elect him because he did so much for the country. No one can compare then with now.
