Very interesting! Most exciting election ever! (my “ever” begins in 1960)

From the Reagan/Carter Time article:

I have a feeling the race resembles the Matt Bevin-Alison Grimes race in KY in 2014.

Last poll taken had him down by five. He won by ten.

Bevin was written off for dead by the media, the Grimes campaign and the GOP establishment. Every one expected him to lose.

When he won, people were stunned.

In 1980 the mainstream media and polling companies took it to about two weeks before the election before they came clean. I feel something very similar happening today. In 1980 our economy was in shambles, our foreign policy a laughingstock and our leader appeared weak. Things haven’t changed much this time around.

Go Trump.

And if the Reagan rise was giddy and the Carter comeback startling, the gadfly persistence of Independent John Anderson adds even more bite and confusion. He blithely dismisses Reagan as "irrelevant" -- a product of the '20s -- and accuses Carter of abandoning his autobiographical guery of Why Not the Best? for a current claim of "I'm not the worst." With such a tight contest now taking shape, Anderson and his appeal to the disgruntled of both parties could prove to be the decisive difference in a few key states and swing the election, most likely to Reagan.

Well, that didn't work out as planned...

Irrelevant headline. It is irrelvant Reagan & Carter tied in the past. That is like saying, Mario Andretti had two legs like Trump, so Trump should drive a race car.

And we all know how that turned out!

And Carter had the advantage of being the incumbent.

[Vigilanteman]

Our neighborhood is so safe that people actually put out Trump signs on their lawns.

[Buckeye McFrog]

John Anderson was VERY visible in 1980.
He was literally all over television.

I could not even tell you what Gary Johnson looks like.
He’s north of 8%? Seems highly unlikely.

My dad’s generation was intentionally deceived by the roll of the press. They are playing the same game today, but I ain’t buying it.

[Rockitz]

Like I’ve been saying...

TRUMP LANDSLIDE COMING

[uncbob]

I know Reagan land slided Carter but how the hell could polls even have it close with double digit inflation and interest rates and the military in shambles

[SoFloFreeper]

Ah, back in the days when California was a battleground state.

Will that ever happen again in our lifetime?
