Having lived through this time perhaps I can help a little with some context. The large crowds they were drawing, especially in the Northeast, were not for Mondale. They were for Geraldine Ferraro, first serious top ticket female, and it was a huge deal - both for good and bad. Which is why Reagan made this comment:
Quote:
'I guess what I'm saying is that movement must be based not just purely on the sex of the candidate but must be based also on the qualifications of the candidate,' Reagan said, adding that the choice was 'kind of reaching.'
Mondale himself was quite uninspiring, especially in comparison to Reagan. You might want to consider the complete picture. One thing I can guarantee you is that this race will not result in a 49-1 landslide, which was stunning at the time. Number wise Trump will win more states, and will have more than 13 Electoral College votes.

The point is, Trump is sounding and acting like Mondale, I.e. someone who knows he is going to lose. Trump not only sounds like Mondale but increasingly like Jeb Bush as well. These pathetic “please vote for me” appeals are pleas of a loser. Trump will win more than 13 electoral votes, but he is headed for defeat. Trump acts like it. Trump knows it.

In your dreams.
Like 2016, the dems have completely misread the electorate. Why? They listened to a small fraction of the vocal, far left radicals and presumed that was the will of the nation.
BLM and ANTIFA already gave the election to Trump; we are just arguing about the margin now. Why do you think they put up Biden as a candidate? A candidate who has lost an election will not be put up again. Biden, due to his age and health issues, is in his last political race. The dems are "keeping their powder dry" by not sacrificing one of their younger potential candidates.
Mondale did not have NATIONAL rallies with massive numbers of people. His appeal was very, very narrow and only in certain areas. Having lived through it, I can tell you there was ZERO enthusiasm for Mondale, just like Biden.
Trump is sounding more desperate by the day. He has a busy next couple of weeks ahead.
We should ask him if he wants some cheese with his wine.
Poor Biden is sounding dumber everyday..he can barely remember who he is..a few days ago he wants sure what state he was in, thought Trump won twice already lol that was a good one, and he thought he was running for the senate
I should have been more careful equating Trump with Mondale. Trump is not a fraction of the man that Mondale was. Mondale would never have questioned the integrity of our elections or foster lies of voter fraud.
Sorry Walter..
