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.

There are two 91 year olds in my building-—and it’s not for seniors.

This used to be unusual.

“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!”

I am hoping and praying you are right.
I am buying a bottle of 9 year old Glennfiddich to (hopefully) celebrate the swearing in of President Donald Trump.
AND I QUIT DRINKING 30 YEARS AGO!
I plan to toast the Hildebeasts defeat with everyone on my street who cares to.
Then, back on the wagon.

Yeah, it’ll be that big an event.

“”Carter says presidential candidates are ‘quite unpopular’”

Stevie Wonder is also aware of this. Any other genius insights from Mr. Peanut?

Um, Jimmy. The L. slate has two candidates that actually were governors of states. More and better experience than the Wicked Witch.

Too bad every time I hear something from them I less want to vote for them. I wonder sometimes if the L. party has been taken over by pod people, to prepare a place for R.s when that party disintegrates.

As of mid to late August, polls showed both candidates were very unpopular in the 1980 race too. Turned out only Jimmy was.

Jimmah still wants hil-liar-y to win. Then he will be the third worst President in history in stead of the second.
