>The '88 presidential election set several records. It was the last time that California, New Jersey, Connecticut, Maryland, Delaware, Maine, Vermont, and Illinois were carried by the Republican candidate. It was also the last where working class white men were the largest voting bloc.[3]
>>18629205Americans are such soulless golems and disgusting imbeciles. They not only voted for Bush father but for Bush jr. They love to vote for the children of politicians for some fucking reason. No other nation is like this. No other nation goes "yeah we should have a family of presidents ruling over us for eternity in differing positions like the Bushes or the Kennedys or the Clintons"
>>18629205>It was the last time that California, New Jersey, Connecticut, Maryland, Delaware, Maine, Vermont, and Illinois were carried by the Republican candidate.Not the last time these states had Republican governors though
>>18629209No other nation has ruling families, you heard it here first folks!Got any other words of wisdom you want to share with the class Pajeet?
>>18629205the GOP mostly stopped caring about the West Coast and Northeast once they'd secured the South's votes
>>18629209The fuck are going on about? Bush SR was a VP and well liked at the time. Bush JR was the governor of Texas. It wasn't like they were random people from a "ruling family." Quit acting like we're europe or the middle east/india you jeet.
>>18630644>Bush SR was a VP and well liked at the timeHe was certainly not well-liked lol he just faced a really weak opponent and his campaign was ruthless.
>>18629209Look up Shinzo Abe's family sometime
>>18630668Dude, most politicians can be viewed as not "well liked" depending on who you ask, as well as their opponent being weak since they did lose.
>>18630752Not really. Nixon had well-known likeability issues despite his monstrous re-election win, Carter won despite a disastrous campaign, Dewey was popular despite losing to Truman etc.
>>18629209Bush Jr was a dumbass compared to his father.
>>18630780Yeah, but he was leagues better the Al Gore
I was in the Army in '88. Everyone in my unit including our black drill sergeant voted for Bush. Nobody took Dukakis seriously lol.
