MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Former Vice President Walter Mondale, a liberal icon who lost the most lopsided presidential election after bluntly telling voters to expect a tax increase if he won, has died. He was 93. Mondale’s family says he died Monday in Minneapolis.

Jimmy Carter and Walter Mondale: Grits and Fritz, they were called.

Theirs was the first presidential ticket I voted for as a naive young man getting ready to join the Air Force. By the end of my hitch, my entire worldview had reversed and I voted for Ronald Reagan.

> Decent man. This was back when you could hate a man’s politics, but at least he was not a raging lunatic. <

Well said. Compared to Maxine Waters and AOC, Walter Mondale was George Washington. You could disagree with a liberal like Mondale, and then later on go have a friendly beer with him.

No more. Today’s liberals will scream at you, and call you all sorts of names (you’re a racist, a sexist, etc.). Having a friendly beer with any of them would be out of the question.

Proudly voted against him in 84 but must say he was nothing like the America haters of today, he was a vet. RIP.

There’s not one single insane Democrat demand today that Mondale wouldn’t get behind. He is a loyal adherent to Satan.


Our problem now isn’t Democrats liking Democrats. Our problem is Republicans supporting Democrats and the progressive agenda.

The Democrats love to throw a huge funeral. The media will blow this up

My first Presidential election was in ‘84. Though a Minnesotan, I voted for Reagan.

I voted against Mondale every time he was up for re-election to the board of directors in a company I owned shares of.

In 2002, I voted against him when he ran in the special election after Paul Wellstone’s death in a plane crash.

I love that map. It was the first presidential election I was eligible to vote in, and I was ecstatic to vote for Reagan. In fact, my dad and I went to my old elementary school together to vote a straight Republican ticket (back then when having an 'R' by your name meant something). I missed the '80 Reagan/Carter election by nine months, age-wise.

He was with Roman Puchinski when the Alderman pushed me off the elevator.

Watching the demonstration/celebration from the podium after being nominated, he turned to a union thug at his side and said ‘Look at them..we’re going to tax their asses off!” Nice guy.

Wish Carter would reduce CO2 emissions. If all liberals immediately ceased CO2 emissions, we would have a better world.

Good riddance to Mondale! Is that harsh? I don’t care.
