    Both Nixon and Reagan put up victories that today's candidates can only dream of

    Nixon came close in 1972 with 49 states but McGovern still won MA 54% to 45% and got 200,000 more votes there. MA must not have been in play that year. Reagan came damn close to taking down Mondale in his home state.

    It's mindboggling that so much of the country could agree on one candidate and platform. We're never gonna see a POTUS take more than low 50's in the popular vote any time soon, let alone get more than 40 states.
    Country has changed quite a bit since 1984. Mondale was an old school liberal like his mentor Humphrey. They wanted a more generous and larger welfare state but there was never a doubt that both of them were patriots who loved the country. That's not true of many people on the left today.
    McGovern was a patriot and a war hero too. Flew B-24s out of Italy in WWII.
    He was a piece of shit
    Fuck off. You can say you disagree with his politics. But his war record is not in question. He got a Distinguished Flying Cross for saving his crews lives. Only medal above this is the CME.
    He’s was a piece of shit because of everything. Probably blew dudes too. Statist.

    A bit strong. He wasn't leadership material, that's for sure, and he was a statist, so FTG for that, but POS is more accurate for the likes of a Dan Rostenkowski or a Hillary Clinton.

    At this point, I’m just fucking with Yella. Probably a decent feller. But whoooo boy, he would have been carter, except worse. But then again, had he won we wouldn’t have to hear the leftists blaming Reagan 40 years later about “trickle down doesn’t work!” and. “he closed the mental hospitals!”
    Heard the “Reagan closed the mental institutions” excuse just yesterday to explain why there is so much homelessness here in the Bay Area.

    Shameless liars, every single one of them

    If that were true, there has been 40 years to fix this supposed travesty.
