@@joshkusiak7613 I feel bad for him for losing so badly, he is a great American Patriot, even though I'm a republican I have to say he's a statesman, sadly we don't see that today in politics very often.

Look at that. He literally lost every single state in America except for his own, and he still came on stage to concede in front of his supporters. Where was Hillary on Election Night?
@stillstabbin1 Yeah, but not on Election Night. On the night itself when her supporters who came in fully expecting to win needed her consoling the most, she abandoned them and didn't make a concession speech until the next morning.
@stillstabbin1 Did you cite your sources? I distinctly remember it was John Podesta coming out to speak on Election Night at her HQ telling them to go home. Hillary never showed up in her Election HQ that night.
Her campaign did not write a concession speech. They could not imagine that they'd lose. Her "it's my turn" approach was too entrenched through her entire campaign.
Even though I am more Conservative, I have such a respect for Mondale. He fought for Civil Rights, he tried to solve the large Budget Deficit (though I disagree with how he wanted to fix it). While I would have probably voted Reagan, I want to give Mondale my huge support. He is a centrist, no bullshit, and ready to fight for what is right, not what he thinks will make him win. Big bravo.
I am watching this on November 6, 2024. I was one year old in 1984. This speech was delivered exactly 40 years ago. To think, so much has changed since this era. I miss the eighties. The way people talk in Generation Z is simply unappealing.
It makes me angry when Supporters boo just because their Candidate accepts defeat. If our Candidate loses, then we have to accept him as the good citizens that we are.
I don't think he was ahead of his time. he like president Carter was a victim of the times. It was very hard for him to overcome an economy that was booming and a president who could play the part to the hilt. he was tied to the failures of the carter administration even though he didn't really have much input into policy. I don't think that he was a bad guy at all. he was part of the last group of Democrats who actually gave a shit about the country instead of just playing politics. I now know what you meant by being a head of his time by picking a female running mate which always ends badly. just ask McCain how it worked out for him. I have a lot of respect for the man who took the biggest asswhooping in election history and didn't bitch about how he was screwed over like Clinton. I was saddened when I heard of his passing.a decent man who just ran into the Reagan buzz saw
You know you lost in a landslide when the first thing asked is not wether Reagan would win but wether he would become the second president to get unanimous votes in the electoral college.
+Greedy D Mondale should have conceded after Reagan made the "age" joke in the debate because at that moment Mondale, in an interview years later, admitted he had lost.
@@jasonharris836 i mean he would run on the same agenda he ran on in '80 and '84, which is a traditional republican agenda. it's not like he ran on a platform of raising taxes and amnesty for illegals, which he actually did.
I had recently turned 18 so Fritz Mondale was the first person that I voted, I know that I was right then and no amount of money could persuade me to recant that conviction. I was heavily involved in Democratic party politics at the time and my folks and I drove out to the airport to welcome him back to Minnesota. There was a huge rally in one of the big hangers and while we were waiting for the 3 big jets to come in the congressmen pumped up the crowd. When came in it was such an emotional moment for the crowd people had tears in their eyes. Fritz pumped up the crowd giving us the impression that he was going to win. He said "Minnesota has given me so much and tomorrow I will give her a president" On election day, which was the day after the big rally, I was planning to go to the victory rally/concession speech but my mother would not let me because I had failed to clean my bedroom that day, I love my mother but I still hold that against her. I was allowed to go to the local party and before I got in the bathtub Reagan was up like 54 to 3(God love D.C.) and when I got out of the tub it was 254 to 3 and I started to bawl. What we found out later on was that Bond deal was briefed by his pollsters a month or so before the election and he was told in no uncertain terms that it is just absolutely impossible for you to be elected president and Fritz Mondale campaign 18 hours a day for an entire month giving 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 Rally's a day and he kept it up with good spirit and keeping crowds pumped up for an entire month knowing that it was all for naught. There are few men in American Life who could do that he would have been such a wonderful president and Minnesota had lost its second vice president running for the presidency in 20 years. Hubert Humphrey would have been a wonderful president as well the potential that those two men were brought to the presidency was just stunning.
"In over 24 years Minnesota has never turned me down." (4:15) And it was the only state he carried. Shame he had to lose it in the 2002 election after he was drafted to try to save Paul Wellstone's Senate seat for the Democrats after Wellstone died in a plane crash shortly before election day.
didn't sell weapons to far right contra terrorists. tried more to help poorer people. not friends with psychos like pinochet or thatcher. didn't take the if we sit on our asses doing nothing approach everything will be fine
Evan Bernard Operation eagle claw was a failure, Carter also left behind a weak military which was pathetic even for a former lieutenant like him, was way too trustworthy with everything, and the economy wasn’t fantastic.
a lot of democrats well into the millions voted for reagan former democrat senator jim webb even served in reagan cabinet! but didnt vote for bushes a good amount of republicans reagan supporters hated the bushes. like me
I like how they make fun of the 1984 election on American Dad. How if Mondale had been elected he would have handed the United States over to the Soviet Union.
ACS Shap My first wife, who I was dating at the the time when we were in college (don't ask why we were dating), honestly thought Mondale was going to pull this off. We had just finished dinner in the university cafeteria and started watching the returns. I looked at her and said, "GAME OVER!" at 7:30 that night!

i don't think any Democrat could've beaten Reagan that year. With two exceptions (Carter and Bush Sr) re-election years are usually shoo-ins for the incumbent.
as a republican, I have a tremendous amount of respect for Walter Mondale. Thank you for your many years of service to our country sir.

One of the worst electoral defeats - but a gracious concession speech.
Unlike his classless sycophants.
But he did do better in the popular vote than George McGovern had in 1972.
Walter Mondale wasn't a bad candidate the problem was he went against Reagan if he ran against Bush he might have had a chance
@@SavageHulk2002 I completely agree with you, frankly Reagan was a hell of a good candidate.
On the contrary, it was one of
the most glorious defeats!
I'm team Reagan all the way, but Mondale's concession speech was so very gracious! Class act!
I am a Reagan fan but likes this man. He was, STILL IS, a nice guy well raised.
Rest in Peace Walter Mondale
He attended Reagan's funeral 20 years later!
What a classy way to concede such a bad loss👌🇺🇸

R.I.P Walter Mondale
Mondale does seem nice.....but I loved Ronny!
I respect Regan, I don’t agree with his policies.
I thinks Reagan had so many flaws, but none are remembered today.
Not that it would have made the diff between winning and losing, but he blew it when he was honest about raising taxes.
He told it how it was. It hurt him in the end, but you can't deny he stuck to his guns.
Regardless Vice President Mondale was going to lose Reagan was way to popular
Mondale probably would of won a few more states if he didn’t say that
He was right about MInnesoda - didnt fall for Reagan and didnt even fall for the snake oil salesman Trump in 2016. Hell of a smart state.

😂
Bitter Much? I disagreed with Mondale but he was a class act
Thanks for a great channel :-) Do you have more from election night 1984 ?

CBS called it for Reagan right when the polls closed
Honestly if Mondale didn't run with reagan I think he would've had a good chance to win
I can tell by the way he laughed at Reagan during the debate with the ahe reference that he was a good man .
Mr. Mondale, carter, Bill Clinton and even John Kerry would likely not make it through a Democratic Party primary today.
unless one cheats like Hillary, Bernie should have one.
