    My all time favorite race was George W. Bush vs John Kerry. I really believed they didn't like each other until I found out they were Skull and Bones brothers. Then you have Clinton and George H.W. who also seemed to dislike each other but later were like father and son. Politicians are the ones who truly deserve the Oscars.

    Jimmy Carter was too good of a man to be President. Look at all he did after he left office. Not one compares.

    Jimmy Carter wasn’t a great president but I believe he was the only president in modern times that didn’t leave the office corrupted.

    I normally vote Republican, but GW Bush and Cheney should be in jail. Looks like we need campaigns funds reform as well. My hope for 2024 is a younger economically competent person and we need to start demanding Congress have term limits.

    Bill Clinton was great for America. New jobs and new things for our future. The man was great.

    Americans be like, “I don’t care if he ruins my life, I don’t care if he doesn’t know anything, he seems like I could have a beer with him, so we need to make him the president!”

    The sad thing is America has had so many poor presidents and so few real good ones.

    From a completely apolitical perspective, 2008 Obama and Raegan in both terms were just unbeatable. And I'm not even talking about policy. Just the sheer charisma these two brought to the table, and how they made their opponents look like dull and boring idiots is testament to the fact that elections are more optics than substance.

    Title seems awfully wrong, this should be: "An Examination of US Presidential Electoral Advertising"

    Good show. Interesting to see the prospective of time, without current politics.

    Thank you for this channel because you are educating and informing people. We need more channels like this one. Our society is in decay, people don’t read, don’t learn interesting things anymore, only social media. Thanks you 🙏🏻❤️

    Unfortunate to miss out that one of the very first things Ford did was to pardon Nixon...
