I can understand wanting Carter out, but Kennedy couldn't hold a candle to Reagan and Reagan would have defeated him as hard or harder than he defeated Mondale.
I'm no kennedy fan, but one could only wish he got nominated instead of Carter. Carter was too volnerable to go against Reagan, Ted would've given the Gipper a run for his money.
@daved1974 Wow, a TV character written as a caricature of the bigoted right by a liberal Democrat (Norman Lear) would have voted for Reagan. What a compelling argument you have there.

@Allocator2008 Close, but I think RFK would have been even better. Sadly, tragedy struck.

Rob Reiner even pointed out that Carroll O'Connor was more liberal than himself or his Hippie Meathead character.

We had a shot. We blew it. EMK might have put us on the path towards renewable energy. Now that is gone. Oh well. Rome fell. Such is history.

@FrsBigeasy Carrol O'Connor (Archie) was a liberal in real life.
