I remember in the 70’s after Warergate and Carter’s election an article in Time magazine saying this same thing.
I was mid teens and remember thinking that’s sad. I took it on face value, being a kid.
They never write how the Democrats are dead.
“I remember in the 70s after Warergate and Carters election an article in Time magazine saying this same thing.”
Ironically, Lanny Davis, then called “Lanny J. Davis” wrote “The Emerging Democratic Majority” at the time of Watergate. A few short years later, Reagan was president.
I remember that. Their mantra was “This party could not return a sitting President to office”. They based their “GOP Dies” bromide on that (never mind that Gerald Ford was never elected to the presidency). Four years later, Carter got swept out by Reagan and somehow the “could not return a sitting President to office” mantra was never applied to the ‘Rat defeat.
