Ronald W. Reagan was an excellent president.

@smokes2468 Actually, Mondale only held his home state of Minnesota by about 3,300 votes (if memory serves). He, of course, won the District of Columbia. No Republican has ever taken DC since the first presidential election where they were allowed to vote in 1964. And, I believe it is a sign of the Second Coming if DC ever went Republican.

To everyone who were adults during this period:

You all are so lucky to have lived and worked during the heyday of this country. While our social fabric was still somewhat intact, when finding a job wasn't impossible, when Americans were still proud to be Americans and intelligent. You all are blessed unlike my generation.

@smokes2468 He also won Washington DC

[BillyBlues34]

@foxh8er he also created 17 million new jobs, brought interest rates from 21% to under 5%, brought inflation, and stagflation under control, oh and gas dropped from 1.50 in 1981 to .89 a gallon in 1989. democrats liked throwing up iran contra because they had nothing to run on, jimmy carter wasa pathetic loser who drove this country into a ditch; kind of like obama is doing now. i remember carter and i also remember reagan. the 80s were the best of times.

Worst in history.

smokes2468--

Yes; Mondale did win just one state, and it was his home state of Minnesota; other than that, he only won that and the District of Columbia, for a total of 13 votes; Reagan won the other 49 states for a total of 525 Electoral Votes.

REAGAN RULES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@norr4636

Typo: Unlike

@norr4636

That's the best part of the debate because even Mondale had class. I mean people can learn from Democrats like Mondale because he knew when he lost the election and he knew he wasn't going to win. He even had a sense of humor, ubnlike today's democrats.
