'it looks like a landslide, folks...'

thanks to mitt's insensitive remarks, he turned a respectable loss into a landslide.

Carter's people were saying the same thing this time thirty two years ago.

When Reagan ran an absolutely terrible campaign? No, not quite but revisionist history is always cute.

[H.E. VOLODYMYR ZELENKSYY]

No. Obama'll probably win, but we won't have any landslides.

[Frodo]

With the exception of Arizona, Montana, Missouri, and (arguably) North Carolina....yes.

Obama would definitely win Indiana before he won Arizona (and maybe even Georgia too).

[Kaine for Senate '18]

Indiana flips before Arizona.

LOL no.  Reagan never even remotely was as incompetent as Romney.  And Carter has always been far weaker than Obama.  1980 is not even remotely comparable to 2012.

[old timey villain]

Yeah, but seriously though. Haven't you heard poor people talk smack about other equally poor people being leeches? If all poor and working class people united against Romney, then he would lose in an embarrassing landslide. Problem is a lot of those low income people agree with Romney. The very poor and the very rich can be VERY self loathing.

The title is are the immortal words of Mypalfish.

Oh, and Reagan talked about trees creating air pollution.

When do you think people will stop comparing every Republican candidate to Ronald Reagan and every Democratic incumbent to Jimmy Carter?

Reagan ran a decent campaign, but in September 1980 Carter's team still had more people terrified at the prospect of President Reagan than the number of people scared of President Romney right now. At one point, Reagan was even polling in the upper 30s in October. It took the debate to turn the tide.

If your boy had simply stepped aside in January, we wouldn't be having problems right now because Romney could have ran with the type of rhetoric that would have him leading 54-44 right now.

When you only have a hammer, every problem looks like a nail. (Never mind that the conservative view of Reagan is in itself revisionist history.)

Do you think Mitt Romney is as good a candidate as Ronald Reagan?

A more likely landslide is this:

Well, I wasn't one starting the comparison, but, now that you mention it, a guess there is no similarity.

Gee, in 1980, a GOP candidate considered to be out of touch, who was running behind the incumbent Democrat.  We had a terrible economy, trouble in the Middle East, with an ambassador assassinated.  The incumbent looked feckless and his supporters seemed to lack intensity.  I guess that would never happen today.  [/sarcasm]

It's like they forgot about Bill Clinton and George Bush.

Do you think Mitt Romney is as good a candidate as Ronald Reagan?

Of course not, but this environment is just as toxic as 1980. And Reagan only became an exceptional candidate of the highest caliber AFTER becoming president (i.e., after surviving the attempt on his life in 1981). Furthermore, Romney has the capability of being just as good of a president as Reagan (although nobody can touch his presidential communication skills obviously).

Reagan was never super popular until after the attempt on his life. He was polling in the upper 30s less than a month before the election, for crying out loud. Go watch the 1980 RNC. It's not particularly more noteworthy than the 2012 RNC. Go read what people were saying about Reagan in September 1980. It's not exactly much different from what people are saying about Romney right now.

No, the economy was improving in 1992.

Do you work for Mitt Romney?

The 1980 comparisons don't really make sense. Different world, different election, different candidates.
