Anybody actually REMEMBER the 1984 campaign?

Geraldine Ferraro started out that year by trying to take the ERA endorsement out of the platform(would that have gained us ANY votes?)

Then, all of the "Reagan Democrats" she was supposed to bring in voted for...well...Reagan.

Why did anybody take her seriously at all on what "Reagan Democrats" supposedly wanted?
