The phrase “tortured analogy” comes to mind.

If you ask me, Cupp is pulling popcorn out her butt with this comparison. She ineptly compares a large, nationally weak filled post Nixon Democrat slate with the large slate on the current Republican platform.

Finally, squeezed (much like that from a dog, frankly) in the article, she comes up with the ammo to shoot her whole thesis in the brain.

...Carter biographer Laurence Shoup writes that it was the media's "favorable coverage of Carter and his campaign that gave him an edge, propelling him rocket-like to the top of the opinion polls

Why yes, S.E. (whatever the hell that stands for), you're brilliant! Insightful, prescient, wizened beyond all our ken. We can all certainly see the similarities here with the media and everybody doing all the cutesy puff-pieces on Trump, can't we? Idiot.

All she's trying to do with this abortion of words is to invoke the disaster of Jimmy Carter and transfix that on a Trump candidacy/presidency. She doesn't have to go that far; we've got 7 years of it right here with Hussein.

Yes...my thoughts too. Despite the water boarding, however, she couldn’t get the truth out of it. Epic sophomoric fail.

Obama is Carter II. The 70s called and want their (foreign, energy, economic...) policies back.

“if someone called me the jimmy carter of ANYTHING”

That is the plan. The pundits are ransacking all the negative concepts on the political scene and trotting them out to explain Trump. Guilt by association, smear by association. I don’t believe Hitler has been used yet, but I am probably wrong. Trump need respond with only two words: Planned Parenthood.

Poor S.E. She wasn’t even born until 3 years after the 76 elections and she’s only going by revisionist history from the liberal media that hates RR. To call her a conservative anything is an insult to conservatives.

I could have beaten Ford after the pardon.

How he won the Dem nomination is interesting

I know Townhall is a respectable conservative website, but they sure do have some dopey articles and headlines on occasion.

S.E. Cupp: "We Need Jeb Bush Because Electability Is Important"

So is credibility for a writer - but not for a Jeb hack!

Townhall USED to be a conservative website. I left there years ago when they became mouthpieces for The Cheap Labor Express.

Carter and Trump are nothing alike—by background or personality.

S.E. Cupp belongs on Red Eye, looking pretty. She’s worthless when it comes to anything else. Would make a good CNN anchor.

You’re right. “The pardon” cost Ford the election.
