    The Trump-as-Jimmy-Carter analogy had some suggestive power but it has fallen apart since election: Dems in 1980s ran away from Carter, while GOP embraces Trump all the harder.

        Was carter at all interested in returning to fight again? Or was this a ridiculous question no one wanted to entertain

        No, he didn’t. People plausibly accuse Reagan of undermining negotiations with Iran (as we know Nixon did with Vietnam) but Carter wasn’t one of them. Reagan’s people also acquired Carter’s classified debate-prep material and didn’t tell the FBI.

        Did they run away from policies though? I remember he was for austerity, deregulation and all that neoliberalism like we saw in the Clinton years.

        Ran away? You must have missed the 1984 and 1988 elections.

        Losing a national election is usually a one way ticket to Palookaville. The only recent exceptions, even for a short term, are Trump and Sarah Palin.

        Hold it right there. Jimmy Carter was not a grifter and didn’t collude with the Russians. This analogy is bs from the start
