Forty years from right now, was 1971. I stated “in over 40 years”, which would have addressed campaigns prior to 1971.

Nice try.

No US Presidential elections that I recall were ever held in 1971.

...candidates I've seen in over 40 years.

Your statement, as uttered, includes candidates and elections held within the last 40 years, and possibly even some extention of time beyond 40 years.

Enjoy your pathologically joyless present existence, since it is clear that you insist upon having one.

FReegards!
