    He was actually a pretty good president too. Unfortunately the seeds of the cancer that is the current Republican party has been sown by the Nixon administration before he was elected and had begun to bear fruit when Reagan ran against him.

    I like to say he was the best man ever to be President and that he had great policies, but that he was not an effective President.

    He was too honest to play the game.

    What does that say about our society? Can you imagine taking the same attitude as a scientist? Nothing would ever work because it relies on foundational truth and integrity. The reason lying in politics is acceptable is because the citizenry is allowing it through the ballot box. These idiots can't do science or politics but they have the same voting rights as everyone else.

    Agreed. I’m still pretty bummed out that Betty White died 17 days shy of her 100th birthday. Hang in there Jimmy, we all need this!

    Hey, Donny. Even though I'm yearning to join my wife, I'm in constant pain, and I'm past ready to die, I'm hanging on for 3 more months just to give you the middle finger.

    Jimmy Carter would never give Trump the middle finger. He's too classy.

    He's the sort of man who stands for something he believes in and leaves it at that. He was the Fred Rogers of politicians.

    I think he's waiting for 2028... which would really be pushing it for Jimmy, since a fascist dictatorship that no longer holds elections might be in charge.

    If that's the case, I wish him the best of luck in 2032.

    Hold on and make it to see her inaugurated and that way you'll have lived longer than Kissinger, Carter.

    I know you can do it!

    I've always said Jimmy would be prefarable to the current roaster of politicians, and I'm going to say it again.

    I’d love to see the people that downvoted this show some bravery and explain what about it is unworthy of just ignoring and moving on.

    this would be such a good ending for carters run, hopefully he can kick around long enough to make it a reality.

    Now, who do we nominate to be the next carter, we need another one....
