The left saw to it that Jerry Ford was portrayed as a bumbling idiot. He lost the election because of it. The pardon of Nixon was a hurdle he could have overcome, but the constant replay of him slipping (here he is being a gentleman focused on his wife’s comfort) made him a laughing stock. Pure Alinsky tactic. BTW, in case you don’t know, Ford was a gifted athlete all of his life. And was my favorite President in my lifetime. In two years, he vetoed more legislation than any other modern President, i.e., refusing to expand the size and scope of our once limited government.
Yes and that unfunny Chevy Chase was a big part of that.
And how many didn’t see the video of Gore stumbling off his campaign platform in Tennessee in 2000? And how many DID see, numerous times Dole stumbling off his campaign platform in 1996? The Media has been our enemy for decades. It’s absolutely amazing we have been able to elect as many Republicans as we have. And I LOVE the fact that the Trump team isn’t going along with the Media to get along. I HOPE there are big CHANGES ahead and the American people will be getting the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth, from now on.
Yes it was obvious he was turned, helping his wife and likely caught his heel on the edge of a step. I did the same once with the same result. That video of his fall was played over and over and anytime he stepped on a rock or anything afterwards it was magnified by media.
One reason the media cannot grasp that people are fed up with them is they have been doing this for so long and it has worked for so long they cannot wrap their head around the fact that we knew, and we are done with them.
