If there's anything this election has taught us though, it's that only the 1% should have a voice. | ||

Still interested in seeing how much Trump can close in the rural regions in NC and Ohio, that will be a big decider assuming he can take Florida. | ||

I'm not watching, but if it's the thing where they have 3 people on one side and 3 people on the other side and everyone is talking at the same time.... and the two hosts are egging each side on... | ||

That was almost 40 years ago and the democrats ran crappy opponents. Also it was a very different time in politics. | ||

You know that loudmouth person you know that people hate talking to because they never shut up? Imagine taking 6 of that person and having them talk over each other non-stop for an entire evening. Well that and their penchant for sensationalizing everything under the sun these days. | ||

If nowadays you get the same amount of votes as Reagon did (either way) you just wouldn't win in that much of a landslide. There are a lot more states that won't flip no matter what nowadays. | ||

I think the economy was bad in 1980.After Reagan got in they had to hike rates to around 17% just to keep inflation under control. It's all about the economy. | ||
