Yup. I haven’t forgotten about that ultra angry 1st debate of 2020 when it’s now been revealed Trump had Covid before his official Twitter statement according to recent information by Mark Meadows

I wish our debates were more civilized too, but I think Trump has the right to be harsh with people who charged him with 400 crimes, fined him millions of dollars, and are still actively trying to put him behind bars, all to try and damage his chances of winning the 2024 election.

Why should the politicians be civilized when the voters aren't?

That wasn't the only thing, the people in the country were genuinely happy with what he was doing.

gtc1961 Not entirely, his approval ratings weren’t amazing in ‘84.

@@alexanderfooy723 oh god here we go with the dems fake boot licking approval ratings. He won 49 states you dumb sheep. That is unheard of. His ratings were extremely high and is know for being the best President in US history hands down.

WINNING I said “not entirely”. Jesus Christ, I was just saying that his dismantling of Mondale was the preeminent part of turning that election in his favor. If you’ve read about it (or lived it) you’d know that up until the second debate there were people thinking that it might be contested. Also, I’m not a Dem, that was a jump. Reagan was decidedly not the best President ever (though a good guy), sheep.

@@TheCrypticKnight wat

That's because the country has declined so much in this century. Dressing properly, speaking well, etc. are all the thing of PAST centuries. Not this one. Today, the slobs in this country will elect anyone who resonates with or seems like them whereas in the past, they elected people they could actually look up to rather than people whom they saw like themselves.

"America can be described in a single word. Ha-fibidarhdjfmfjfjfnfmfk"

If you can, find his radio commentaries. They are absolute gems - and he wrote them, himself.

That's why people liked him so much. His humor, his speaking. Policies didn't really play much of a role. But he's not the only of that kind. Obama is the newest example of that though, he got 2 terms because of his charisma.

He was a Hollywood leading man. Of course, he could speak but that's only one of many traits needed of a good leader.

He knew he was about to stick the knife in.

Reagan was a trained actor though. But I get it. This was a huge debate moment. Four years earlier it was, " there you go again".

Raegan won the election by making his opponent laugh, what a legend.

Yeah I was an 8 year old little kid, and even I felt Mondale had no chance. I didn't "follow" politics at the time, so I didn't watch debates, but I knew it was Reagan/Bush versus Mondale and some lady he got for his VP, Ferraro. Even as a little kid I thought that was a terrible move for the mid 80s. Yes you look enlightened and progressive picking a woman as your VP in 1984, and it's no problem today, but picking a lady, especially a lady like her just wasn't a savvy smart move at that time. Not to mention, Mondale just seemed like such a bore.

Now we have something much worse with Biden. Man stumbles up the stairs to Air Force one, loses his train of thought every other sentence, and won’t even take questions from reporters. What hypocrisy of NBC to air this

Reagan could have taken a dump on the podium, and he still would have beaten Mondull.

This clip is probably shown to presidential candidates on how NOT to respond to a zinger.

@@Purplexity-ww8nb The economy had turned around by around 82. But beyound that Reagan was seen as the best person to fight the "evil empire". The cold war was really the biggist issue at the time. The economy was the other issue. Nothing else really mattered that much.

Evil would be a more appropriate word, maybe degenerate. Anyway we get the government we deserve....

Politics has always been mean and nasty. The past decade or so the electorate has finally been able to peek behind the curtain to see how the sausage is made.

We are not a Democracy. We're a Republic, and thank the Founding Fathers for that.

That's exactly what we miss today!

@@aliajs9449 Just think -- it only took 40 years for the two major parties to run our democracy into a ditch. We were never the same after Reagan.

​@@briane173 very true

It's obvious if you look critically which side started stirring up the hate.

Because they both loved their country more than their party.

Even Mondale knew a good zinger when he heard one; and Reagan's here was utterly disarming. It was altogether self-deprecating and slapped right back in Mondale's lap; pretty hard to top that.

Back in the good ole days before voter fraud and election tampering.

1984 was the last election where candidates treated one another with respect and civility. 1988 was the dawn of personality politics and the politics of personal destruction, and it's been that way ever since. It's become a cult of personality and victory typically goes to the most acerbic, caustic, trenchant candidate in the debates or anywhere else. And why not? Voters lap it up -- which I confess does not speak well of the people voting for these clowns. We've been complaining ever since 1988 about the decline in civility in the public square and yet when the time comes to cast a vote we encourage the decline of civility. The more personal it gets the better.

Aye

morbius109 Reagan ignored the AIDS crises because he wanted gay people to die...

On a side note Hillary is funded by gay killers.

Ja'h'el Cathartes Aura, Lucky you! I was at Children's Hospital in Seattle and came upon Rosalyn Carter, who paused and shook my hand. She seemed a gracious lady, though I was (and still am) diametrically opposed to her reason for being there; stumping for big pharma and the saturation of our children with vaccines. -I would have much preferred meeting Reagan!

+Kathy Bradbury :) Yep I feel exactly as you do about Roslyn Carter, I have the exact same mixed feelings & observations about her. I lived in Georgia during Carter's campaign & liked him as a kid, but was too young to vote. Both the Carters & Reagans are people I'd have loved to sit down & have dinner & long conversations with. I've always said you can never know a candidate untill you have dinner with them lol! Of course that's not true, and I've only been able to do anything like that with a few local candidates & congressmen (spent time with one in the white house!) I'm endlessly fascinated by the personal vs public personas of leaders, highly successful folks, movers & shakers. Evert tidbit of story is fascinating!

Lee Johnson Damn... Reading your comment made me literally burst out into laughter. Reagan was famed for his love of his wife, in fact people thought it was a problem because of how much time he spent with his wife and not running the country sometimes.

Democrats and other leftists almost always make up crap about every American Patriot from George Washington and his peers all the way to the present day! :-( Republicans almost never do that because they have truth on their side and usually much higher standards and morals! :-) and nowadays although I don't like Donald Trump and not sure what the heck he'll do if he's president I know 100% for sure that Hilary Clinton belongs in federal prison for life and other than that minor detail she will appoint Supreme Court Justices that will trash the Constitution including the Bill of Rights and all our freedoms! :-( and as documentation for that you can simply look at videos relating her with voter fraud at project Veritas Undercover and see her relationships with George Soros and cloward Piven and Saul Alinsky all very very bad people that in total plan some very evil things for USA! :-(

@@user-ue2lx6py9j that's your opinion, and I respect it, but I don't think simping for communist dictators and raising taxes is very good policies.

@TransN1ggerCo*k_420 To start, he helped pass 2 strategic arms limitation treaties, which made guns harder to get while not taking away the 2nd amendment, and they decreased gun crime. These happened throughout 1970s. In the 1990s he also made an assault weapons ban. Also during the Clinton administration he made a bill that decreased the amount of domestic violence. He compromised with Republicans on several occasions, particularly when he was chairman of a senate foreign relations committee for 2 years. Also, he ran as a moderate in both 1988 and 2008. Did you know a court actually found he did not break any laws in 1988? Yes, he was a bit dishonest, but many republicans make it out as worse than it was. In 2008 he was quite honest and just as moderate. He rightfully opposed the gulf war, but he did support military interference in Eastern Europe to stop Yugoslavian terrorism over smaller states there (If u have time, look it up, it was quite horrifying. Much of the violence stemmed form a football club too.) I'm sure you know how Biden worked just as much as Obama to stop the 2009 recession. He helped stop it, just in time, from becoming a depression. You may say the recovery was "too slow" but it was actually faster than the great depression and 1880s depression. I won't go through all the things he did as vice president, but not many people complained Biden was an incompetent VP.

@KTMD That is true. Barack and Biden did not handle immigration very well.

LMAO you can't be serious. This guy started the corporate hegemony that would dominate America to this very day. Trickle-down economics never works and it never has because the rich don't spend their money like poor people do. The money just sits in their bank accounts instead of flowing back into the economy to drive growth. His entire economic philosophy is fundamentally flawed at best, designed to destroy the middle class at worst.

I wonder where all the small businesses that became big businesses came from?? I guess the guvmnt created and financed Microsoft, Apple, Oracle, etc in the 80's? Or any of the other many, many small businesses that became successful mid-cap businesses? It really did happen you know, you cannot deny it forever lol! Your idiot argument is tired old bullshit that anybody with half a grain of business history knowledge in the USA can easily refute.

I think he's doing great. Best economy every and 17 year low unemployment rate? Plus, he doesn't give a crap about SJW crazies. I'm ready to vote for him in 2020.

And this was despite the House being Democrat held whilst the Senate went Republican in 1980 in large part thanks to Carter (although his post- President life was a lot better in every way with his humanity missions) with his poor relations between other Democrat leaders

Reagan couldn't get elected today. In his first term he worked with the opposition party to produce consensus legislation that got the results he promised when he campaigned. This is how we used to do business. "My party is in the majority; how 'bout we get 60% of what we want and you can have 40% of what _you_ want." Of course, this is also back when the Senate had some self-respect and brought honor to the filibuster, which was the best defense against partisan division and polarization. We've watched the Senate chip away at its own rules since then and the results have been predictable. This can only happen in a climate where We The People are no longer sufficiently educated in civics to understand why our system is set up the way it is, and are therefore exercising the franchise from a position of complete ignorance. How else would we wind up with woke socialism vs. white nationalist populism? Both sides want our President to run an autocracy, with an authoritarian strongman at the top. We've got thousands of years of history that tells us why that's not a good idea, yet we're doing it anyway. Reagan would've been able to blunt the influence of radical extremists in both parties and serve the people; what we have today has no intention of ever doing so. Both sides want the whole loaf and will settle for nothing less -- the rights of the minority be damned. We're not going to survive if we continue down this road.

Yea, it's obvious he had rehearsed this, which is why he stumbles a bit in his delivery.

Who else but Reagan could flame an opponent with a self-deprecating one-liner like that?

And it was his own home state of Minnesota, and only by less than 0.2%.

Home state of MN

Reagan let him win his home state...didn't campaign there for a minute.

If they counted the absentee ballots Reagan would have won Minnesota. He had a lockdown on military votes.

I'm pretty sure Reagan pitted Mondale so he didn't campaign there that much. Yet Regan barely loss.

No, it merely shows where his emphasis is. ALWAYS on money, like all Republican trash.

The conservative of the 21st Century has nothing in common with Ronald Reagan, that's part of the problem. Reagan was, at heart, a libertarian; by the contemporary definition, the only thing "conservative" about Reagan was he wasn't a liberal. He USED to be, then saw where the Democrat Party was headed, and jumped ship, and never looked back. But at heart he was Madison and Hamilton rolled into one and fundamentally a libertarian. Today's conservative is an angry, torch-and-pitchfork-carrying, John-Birch-Society conspiracy theorist who'd just as soon stoke a civil war than to work with reasoned and reasonable people from both parties to get things done and win the megaphone from the Bolsheviks on the Left. Reagan has got to be turning in his grave to watch his GOP kiss the feet of a circus-barker from Manhattan who bears more of a resemblance to Mussolini than to Reagan. Conservatives must retake the high ground or they'll continue to feed into the self-fulfilling prophecies of the Left. Both right- and left-wingers have stolent the megaphone and control the two parties and talk right over the majority of the electorate that is NOT extremist. If you ever heard or read Reagan's admonishment to the Young Republicans Convention in California back in 1967 about the GOP you'd soon realize that Republicans in the 21st Century have broken every tenet of Reagan's philosophy for growing the GOP and explains why in so many important states the Republican Party has "extremed" and Tea-Partied its way to irrelevancy. Respect Reagan? Do what he suggested to those Young Republicans 55 years ago, otherwise admit that Reagan is ancient history and the GOP is now the party of populist extremism with no plans to win local elections.

@@briane173 seems like you're targeting the right more than the left. I wonder what your bias is....

@@newyorkstatestormchasers I am what I've always been -- a libertarian-conservative who respects constitutional democracy under a federal system. That's my bias. I was raised Republican and was a Republican for the first 20 years I was eligible to vote. Then I went independent when I noticed after the GOP flipped the House and Senate in '94 that they quickly became everything I despised about the Democrat party, and that was partisanship for its own sake. I never went back. There's nothing Democrats are selling that I'm buying, and so that leaves me often holding my nose and supporting Republicans who are just as partisan but lack the statesmanship and broad appeal necessary to work with the other side to advance their objectives. And the last 13 years I've been sorely disappointed. It's not what I'm biased _toward,_ it's about what I'm biased _against_ -- and I'm against concentrating power in one office while Congress abdicates the power vested in them as a legislature, _especially_ when the person occupying the office is only interested in growing their brand and couldn't care less about anybody else -- someone who demands fealty to them and when they don't get it they act like a mob boss. The current GOP is an embarrassment, and not the party I want representing my interests when extremists from the _other_ party are capable of the damage they've inflicted on the social construct. Just look at how the Freedom Caucus operates. They're happy to commit cannibalism to get what they want -- incapable of reading the room and cooperating to maintain some unity in the face of a razor-thin majority and a hostile opposition party. All because of one man. One man with a strangle-hold on the GOP because Republicans are afraid of him. Sorry if I don't want to align with abject cowards, but I'm not sorry. Bias? absolutely. I'm biased in favor of what we enjoyed in the 1980s when a grownup was in charge -- a happy warrior with broad appeal who was a _statesman_ and possessed character. That's my bias.
