94. it was 12 years before I was born, but the results in 1984 would have brought more than a tear

Apr 2020

And we won MN (Mondale's home State and always Dem for POTUS since the 1920's other than Eisenhower and 1972 Nixon) by only 3761 votes.

Reagan in 1984 was the only POTUS in history to win a majority of counties in every state.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
