Gonna be pretty hard to be stomped worse than Mondale was.

True. Mondale was pretty damned pathetic.

The only reason I bring him up is because it was Mondale’s loss that started the come-to-Jesus moment for the Dems where they realized they had to dump the hippies and the far left in favor of a more centrist approach. It took a few years before Clinton rose up to carry that mantle, but the changes in the Democratic party started then.

I have a feeling it would take a loss of similar proportions before the Republicans finally jettisoned the religious fanatics and social conservatives and tried being more pragmatic.
