Happy birthday to one of the most thoroughly decent men to ever hold office in America. What a long and remarkable life.

Hope he lives past 100 years. Jimmy Carter was one of the most decent presidents in history, though his presidency was medicore.

It is astonishing to realize that Jimmy Carter has now been out of office for nearly 40 years-the longest retirement of any President (he surpassed Herbert Hoover in 2012), and that he is the longest-lived president in U.S. history (having taken that title from George H.W. Bush) and has had the longest marriage of any President (having also taken that title from Bush). If he can hold on for another four years, he'll be the first centenarian President, and I hope that he gets that distinction as well.

This.

Also, pretty sad how salient The Crisis of Confidence is even now, especially now perhaps.

If only his vision was given such weight.

I hope he takes it step further and makes it to March 15, 2047, to beat Jeanne Calment. If anyone deserves that, it's him.

Happy birthday to the best president who served between Truman and Obama!

I didn't know Carter and Reagan shared the same birthday!

Carter has many fine qualities. Being presidential was never one of them.

Regardless if you think he was a good President or not, I believe that Jimmy Carter was the best person to hold the office.

Regardless of what you think of the man, Reagan arguably had one of the most successful Presidencies of the 20th century.In the time period being discussed here only LBJ and Nixon came close and if events had turned otherwise (LBJ's presidency not being derailed by Vietnam; Nixon never getting involved in Watergate) either of those two could easily be seen as having done better than Reagan, and if either one had then Reagan probably would never have been President.

By contrast, Carter was horrible at being President, picking needless fights with those in his own party, and trying too hard at being the idealistic outsider. As far as being President is considered, he's easily the worst between Wilson and Dubya and maybe the worst between Wilson and Trump.

Fun idea, it wouldn't take too many diversions from OTL to come up with an alternate history timeline in which Republican nominee Jimmy Carter defeats the incumbent Democratic president, Teddy Kennedy, in 1980.

I wonder what he will think when Donald Trump goes down to defeat in a landslide for being as horrible a person as Jimmy Carter was good.
