I would argue that Buchanan (Pat not James) had a legitimate effect on GHWB's bid for re-election, but for the most part who cares about failed primary candidates?

There was a story during the primaries that did extensive polling on women Clinton vs Sanders supporters with the overall conclusion that the more sexism a women experienced in their life the more enthusiastic they were about voting for Clinton so I'm not surprised by this at all.

They wouldn't play ball with him because he virtually refused to work with them on anything. He pissed off the party literally from the moment he started running and then didn't moderate at that all when he got elected.

Like, I talked about this in the primary but I don't think people really appreciate how big of a deal it was for Ted Kennedy to give Carter and incredibly robust challenge in '80.

A lot of younger women have sort of been convinced sexism is over, or they don't quite realize how serious/pervasive it is yet. I think part of it is that a lot of young people are still working lovely, minimum-wage jobs and they don't feel it's much different between the men and women there. Ten years down the line, when their male coworkers are managers and they're still manning the tills despite being more responsible and capable, they start to see a pattern. That's not a dimension that the cool, hip feminist discourse is focused on right now, but it's the sexism that grates on Democratic and Republican women alike, essentially as an axis independent of other political opinions.

Oh poo poo wow. See that's how you stand up to a gun lobby. :allears:

As to Carter, it's my understanding of him that he basically was like Obama but worse, coming in with relatively little knowledge of how poo poo was really gonna go down and how bad it really was from previous administrations.

My understanding of post-1964 American history is really bad comparatively tho.

Except white people are historically not prone to voting Democrat. They went 72 to 39 for Romney. Even if Sanders was the nominee there's no reason to assume white men would suddenly flock to him in droves or that he wouldn't suffer low favorabilities with them. Maybe not AS low as Clinton but the argument that any Democrat could suddenly win all the white votes against Trump (whose strongest base are white men) is silly.


So why is Obama President when he clearly lost White voters by a huge degree?

From a couple of pages ago, but your percentages are incorrect here, I think you might have been looking at the wrong column.

http://ropercenter.cornell.edu/polls/us-elections/how-groups-voted/how-groups-voted-2012/

For white voters: Romney 59%, Obama 39%. Still a big gap, of course.

Sitting presidents have rarely, if ever, faced much opposition from within their own party during re-election (for obvious reasons.) In 1980, Ted Kennedy was the scion of the Kennedy Political Legacy, and a huge figure within the party and congress.

To put in perspective, it would be like if in 2012, seeing a weakness in Obama, Hillary ran against him again. Ted Kennedy challenging Carter was a big deal, and even though the race wasn't incredible close (51-38), it underscored the weakness of Carter going into the general -- and Kennedy's speech at the convention (which you should all watch) was even more damaging to Carter (though the killer for Carter was the failure of Operation Eagle Claw.

That was all setup by a weak economy (not his fault, entirely) and his refusal to work with congressional leaders. Basically they resented Carter as an outsider (he was NOT the party's choice to run in '76) and he more or less kept party leaders out of power. Congress more or less told him to gently caress off, despite it being lead by Democrats and overrode him on vetoes constantly.

As time goes by the Carter presidency becomes more and more grotesque and pathetic to me. He was a yokel lightweight and let Brzezinski push him around and primed us for the Reagan Revolution through his own ineptitude.
