In 1980, the polls at this point were all calling for an easy Carter win over that reckless warmonger Ronald Reagan too.

The USA of 1980 no longer exists. Whites, who are the only real swing voters, now make up much less of the electorate. Reagan carried CA and NY. Those huge EC prizes are demographically off-limits to the GOP now.

Wasn’t Carter something like 30 or 40 points up back then? LOL!

At this point in 1980, Carter had a 6% lead, with John Anderson polling at 21%. It was nothing like the margins we are seeing today. This fall is going to be a landslide for Clinton, and the end result of the Trump candidacy will be firm establishment control over the nominating process from now on. They will be able to say “we told you so”.

At one point several polls in 1980 election had Reagan between a 20 to 30 point underdog.

We all know how that turned out.
