The American Presidential Election of 1980

i miss Regan

Are you going to do a standalone video dedicated to John Anderson?

I voted that year for the only Republican : John Anderson

Let's Make America Great Again
Make America Great Again
Concidence?
Probably,yeah

Bedtime for Bonzo.

1980 starts when Texas starts voting red as of making of this comment

This one ruined it all

This has to be the most pessimistic view of Reagan… this guy absolutely hates conservatives

Carter will forever be my favorite president. He’s a great, nice guy. When he was fit he would shake everyone’s hand at his church and take a picture with ‘em. Also as a Georgia boy I’m a little biased.

I remember voting Carter for President

In all honesty the hostages weren't getting released if Carter won. Not right away that is. Iranians knew the gig was up when Reagan won.

Carter loose beacuse Iran hostages Reagan was better on tv debate

Wow, 40 years later and the story is repeating…. I’m voting for Trump 2024❤❤❤❤❤❤

Fun fact: I share the same birthday with John B. Anderson! (February 15)

Damn Carter still did pretty well in the South despite all.

Fun fact: This was the first time a Democrat incumbent lost reelection to a challenger of another party and not get reelected since Martin Van Buren in the 1840 election 140 years prior. For those about to reply “Well Acktually” to my comment, please look below.




James K. Polk: Did not run in 1848
Franklin Pierce: Lost the primary in 1856
James Buchanan: Lost the primary in 1860
Andrew Johnson: Served a partial term and lost the primary in 1868
Grover Cleveland: Did lose to a challenger in 1888 BUT got reelected in 1892
Harry S. Truman: Dropped out of the primary in 1952
Lyndon B. Johnson: Dropped out of the primary in 1968

Carter was garbage 🗑️

in retrospect, i'd rather have reagan back than have to deal with trump.

I believe this is the election that single handedly broke America permanently.

any VEEO fans will recognize the hostage crisis similar to Mondez taking credit for freeing Tibet!

Yeaaaaaaah, the Carter Administration did all the work. Had nothing to do with the hostages being held for over a year and "coincidently" released them on inauguration day.

Election Trivia: The song Whip It was meant to be a subtle pep talk to Jimmy Carter, according to DEVO co-writer Mark Mothersbaugh.

Well, at least poor Jimmy Carter still did better than Walter Mondale would do 4 years later.

It’s Jimmy’s turn again

"Well ,Mr Beat, there you go again"

Please correct your visual map. In 1980 Republicans were blue, and Democrats were red.

It was not until 1984 that they did the great switch. Democrats were blue, and Republicans were red.

Jimmy Carter is STILL alive in 2024.

History shows that an incumbent president loses an election when the economy is not good which was the case here with Carter getting defeated by Reagan.

at what point did Bush call Reagan's economics "Voodoo Economics"?

And as of today, (August 12th, 2024), Jimmy Carter is still alive and merely 51 days away from turning 100 years old.

Between the three Presidential candidates Reagan lived the shortest at 93

"He was the oldest President ever elected"

Biden: Hold my ice cream

Reagan sabotaged the negotiations. Even then, Carter didn’t contest the results. That’s what a real leader does and what makes Carter the greatest man to hold the office of the presidency.

Good Video, as usual, Mr. Beat. This was the first Presidential Election/Election I voted in (I voted for Jimmy Carter, which started me choosing Losers, except for Bill Clinton). The Anderson Candidacy is said to have been A Bigger Hirt to Jimmy Carter, even though he, as you said, was A Republican

So Good 👍

Carter turns 100 tommorw

Happy 100th birthday Jimmy Carter (im from the UK so it’s currently 1st October here)

Today is President Carter 100th Birthday!

Damn, first comment in 3 years lol

Jimmy Carter is now 100

Jimmy Carter is the most underrated president ever

I told people that Joe Biden is basically Jimmy Carter in 2024. Trump is a little bit like Reagan with his popularity and wants to end wars.

The exact moment when everything went to shit. May Reagan keep burning in hell, waiting for heaven to trickle down to him.

Crazy how this is exactly whats gping on today

Exactly
