In terms of being the outsider going to "sort out the corrupt insiders at Washington", not being a political mind, and completely lack any PR in his speeches (and his somewhat famous family of hangers on) Carter was a bit similar to Trump in terms of his road to power. November will tell how accurate this analogy is of course, and I'm not sure Trump is going to win the Nobel Peace Prize anytime soon... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, arguably the most successful post-president ever and probably the only one who could claim to have done more important political work after leaving the Oval Office. Only got 41% of the vote in 1980. Ted Kennedy fought for the nomination and only quit in mid-August which did Carter no favours. Neither did a brave and disastrous attempt to send special forces in to rescue US hostages in Tehran. Had Operation Eagle Claw succeeded (and at heart it had a major element of surprise and a twist the Iranians didn't know about) Carter might actually have got a second term. As it was his standing never recovered.
