Carter->Mondale, that's that general idea of the 84 election.
Needless to say, Mondale was more qualified to be President than Reagan (arguably more so than Carter). It's just the nature of our populous. Who's going to take a policy wonk from a Democratic administration that was successfully portrayed as a failure over Ronald Reagan™?
Mondale was not qualified to be the local dog-catcher.
Never one to elaborate, eh Libertas?
You didn't elaborate on why Mondale was more qualified than Reagan and Carter, so why should I have to?
Nor would you. I haven't the slightest you'd have stood in line with all the other drones to vote the straight Republican ticket in 1980.
