An amazing speech from both of them. They balanced each other out as a presidential team, Reagan with domestic experience as an ex governor, and George as a former Congressman, UN ambassador, an unofficial US ambassador to the PRC, and CIA Director.
It really was the perfect ticket for the Republicans. Reagan rallied conservatives and brought the religious right on side while bush locked up moderate and even liberal republican support. It truly was a perfect ticket for the times and we may never see a ticket like it again
Strangely it was tight but after the debate Reagan pulled ahead and won decisively. The idea that he was a trigger happy cowboy was ridiculous and the fact that people believe he was for so long says everything about the lack of knowledge people has about reagan going into 1980
@@thomashowe1509That was the media telling people what to think. The media branded Reagan as too old, too extreme and too quick to press the button. I believe the reason it was close until the debate was because Reagan had suggested the minimum wage was one of the things hurting the economy. He never actually pledged to eliminate it but people were wary of such talk when the economic outlook was already so bleak.
@@suicidality2744perhaps. The media always made fun of reagan and tried to make their views run off on the public.

All I can say now 42 years later is he was right about the government and society. and when I was young, I thought he was wrong and the libs were right. Well now that I am living in a world where their policies and views have taken over, I know how wrong I was. Despite what they say today about this country, we are not the bad guys in this drama of life, we are what Reagan was trying to tell us as Lincoln had said -the last hope of this world and a shinning City on a hill. Thank you President Reagan and all of your generation, which included my father, mother uncles and aunts, and those before, you gave us a great life, and I pray the people of this country realize that before it is too late for them because this today is about them and their children and not about those of my generation who are fading away as every generation does. God Bless you all and America.
The president of my youth and the greatest we've had since Roosevelt. He was also my Commander-in-Chief while I was a member of the USMC. God bless you President Reagan, you are missed.
I was 15 years old and remember this speech, this particular speech, as if it were yesterday. We were so full of hope believing that we would finally be delivered from the chaos of Jimmy Carter's final (and embarrassing) years of office. It was a time of ebullient optimism, which preceded the pervasive prosperity and optimism of the 1980s.
How were the 80s? I'm genuinely curious because everyone keeps putting numbers and charts acting like the economy started getting worse (for commoners) in the 80's.
It’s normal for candidates, Mitt Romney did the same in 2012. Donald Trump was first not to allow that to happen with Joe Biden in 2020, even when Biden won
When strong men were leaders of a strong country. Let’s encourage our actual strong men and women of today to stand up and be leaders for our strong country.
Yep, Ronald Reagan was a great leader, he's the one who instituted the harshest gun control laws in the country, as governer of California. Thank god he did that, because maniacs shouldn't be allowed to just own incredibly deadly weapons and carry them around with them all the time. The modern republican party is completely in the pocket of the Russia-backed NRA, whereas Reagan back in the day actually had the balls to stand up to gun lobbies, to gun nuts who don't understand the constitution and think it guarantees them the right to own guns, and to Russia. If the republicans of today were even 1% as strong as Reagan they'd stand up Russia, and stop them interfering in elections and paying off republicans to relax every trade and economic and legal sanction that the US has applied to Russia for their various crimes. Reagan understood that, he called Russia the evil empire, he's the one who actually realised that America has no bigger enemy than Russia. There's no bigger enemy of democracy and progress as Russia currently, and if only we had leaders like Reagan around today, people like him are more needed than ever before. He'd be absolutely furious if he'd been alive when it was discovered and ruled by Mueller that Russia interfered in the US election process to make sure a republican won the presidency. He'd have demanded immediate action taken against Russia for that, like extremely harsh sanctions, the harshest ones yet, and would work his political wranglings to get all of NATO and every ally of NATO countries to completely boycott everything Russian. He might even have gone to war against them, a hot war, not a cold war. MABA - Make American presidents have Balls Again Like this comment if you love Reagan and love MABA. Reagan may be dead, but his political ideology isn't.
It is interesting to revisit this speech over forty years after it was given. I was a freshman in college and a young Republican looking forward to voting for this ticket the next day. Early in the speech he basically said the same thing Donald Trump did so many years later -- that large numbers of Americans hate the fact their country has been diminishing and in fact want to restore the greatness of the nation on the world stage. Funny how that sounds an awful lot like "Make America Great Again". An interesting thing we see in this version is that there is within the confidence both humility and respect. At the end of this speech he basically says if you're satisfied with the leadership of Mr. Carter then you should vote to re-elect him. If not, please give us your vote and we promise to work hard at all these policy changes we believe are absolutely necessary to bring America back to a place where it is respected at home and abroad. While they were not able to do it all perfectly (so administration ever has), they were successful in so many ways and set the stage for over twenty-five years of prosperity only rivaled by the post-war boom of the late forties and fifties. There is still relevance in this vision for America, though I'm concerned that a smaller percentage of us truly believe that America is worthy of our pride and patriotism -- maybe not enough to carry this commonsense vision of America to the forefront once again. No nation is perfect, but I still believe America is still the last, best hope of man on earth, that shining city on a hill that so many want to make their adopted home in hope of securing a future for themselves and their children.
I'm no fan of Reagan but I can understand his appeal. Here I am, a progressive in 2020, listening to Ronald Reagan talking to me from five years before I was born about how great deregulation is going to be, and he's totally selling me on it.
As an all out conservative, I hear your perspective. In hindsight, deregulation has backfired. Trickle down economics became trickle out. The wealth gap exploded. But if you ask me, it wasn't government. It was the big boys in business not investing in the little guy.

Bush is anything but a "great man". He raised children who are even worse. The Bush family will be forever known as traitors to their country, to the world and to humanity. They were nothing they claimed to be and Bush Bush Sr was right when he said if the people ever found out what they did they wouldn't be able to walk the streets. Hideous creature he is.
Remember what it was like to have a president who could deliver a speech above that of a 3rd grade level? The last 3+ years has truly had a "Dumbing Down" of America. We are living a real life Idiocracy movie.
Loved the Superman March, at the end. Christopher Reeve shamefully didn't like it being used like this. He was a liberal, who completely disagreed with Reagan.
In this day in age, we need to elect a man like Ronald Reagan to stimulate America in the same way Larry Bird, Magic Johnson, and Michael Jordan stimulated the NBA and arguably that of American sports. Unfortunately, neither political party has a Ronald Reagan type of man right now. Equally unfortunate, the man who would best stimulate America in the name of Elon Musk can’t run for president because he’s not a native born American. We are going to have to instead support an independent candidate like Ross Perot to stimulate the economy. He was characterized as crazy in his time. Now he would be the common sense candidate. The electable man of the middle. The current climate is making a Perot presidency more likely. Let’s take advantage of that opportunity. We need to stimulate our country again.
Perot, as you know, is no longer available for earthly offices. I think we need to give serious consideration to amending the Constitution to allow someone like Elon Musk to run for President as a naturalized citizen. (When Arnold Schwarzenegger was governor, a movement was under way to amend the Constitution so Arnold could run for President. We need to revive that movement for Elon.)

Even MORE now!!!
