Carter says presidential candidates are 'quite unpopular'
Associated Press ^ | Aug 22, 2016 7:13 PM EDT | Adrian Sainz

Former President Jimmy Carter said Monday that both major presidential candidates are “quite unpopular,” but he knows who’s more qualified and he’s voting for Democrat Hillary Clinton in November.

The 91-year-old Carter spoke with The Associated Press on the site of a Habitat for Humanity construction project in Memphis.

Carter, considered a worldwide ambassador for Habitat for Humanity, said he doesn’t like to advocate for particular issues because he works equally with Republicans, Democrats and people of many religious beliefs in his role with the home building charity.

But he did say that “everybody knows that I’m a Democrat, and I’ll be voting Democratic.” …

Someone ought to remind Jimmah Cahtah that his brother Billy was a lot more popular than he was and that he is still pretty unpopular outside of Third World Hell Holes.

Well if he hasn’t learned to turn away from the Democraps by now then clearly he is incorrigible. Oh but we knew that 40 years ago....

Whatever Jimmah. Word is he’s still holding a grudge over the 1980 butt kicking Reagan gave him when he and the media thought he was gonna mop the floor with The Gipper. Didn’t turn out too well for Jimmah. I think the same media and Democrat arrogance is rearing its ugly head in this race too, and they’re all in for a rude awakening on the night of November 8th!

This is a guy who is a worse ex-President than President. He has spent his time cuddling up with dictators and spreading antisemitism. He also pounds nails, which on the scale of good vs evil, does not tip the scales at all.

Carter needs to stay alive for at least another 85 days or so. We don’t need the optic of Obama and Bubba at his funeral nor the accolades of his liberal accomplishments plastered all over the media for a week.

If he goes after Trump takes office, Trump will have to go. It’s kinda protocol.

The only reason Clintoon isn’t in single digits in the polls is because all of her voters are voting for more free stuff. If Charlie Manson was the “democrat” nominee, he’d be leading Trump too.
