Carter's biggest problem was he lectured rather than lead.
A wagging finger in the White House can never win, people want hope.
You are so wrong. But that's okay. Bill Clinton wagged his finger in the public's face, and lied about an extramarital affair.And he went on to beat a genuine war veteran.
Lewinsky happened after he beat Dole.

true, and people liked him. People knew Bill was a womanizer and more. He beat Dole. He beat GHW Bush, a genuine war hero, even after being called a draft dodger.
Politics is funny.
That's impossible to be non-partisan. The two were as polar opposite politically as it gets.
You can be partisan. I just want to hear Carter was destroying the country, or whatever.
I guess I am asking, what events, and what Reagan did to win. For instance, there is a part in the book where Carter decides to go home, and not campaign in a certain area.
the Iranian hostage crisis, inflation, high unemployment,

Perot beat Bush Sr, so yes politics is funny.

Only if one assumes all of Perot's votes were Bush's for the asking. Using your logic Nader elected G.W. Bush...along with the SCOTUS.
Anderson cost Carter votes, yet Reagan won anyway (barely with the popular vote).
W. bush, won with less than 50% of the vote.

Carter could not commincate with America.
One of the reasons it is called the Presidency, is you are not just a peanut farm manager, you have to express the nation's desires, it's soul, you have to be able to understand that and articulate it.
Carter could not do it.
Reagan did.
When it comes to democratic politics, only a fool thinks their personal opinion is truer than a nation's opinion.

yes. I do think Nader beat Gore also.
If nader hadn't run, Gore would have won Florida for sure. and I think Perot took more votes from Bush than from clinton. I don't remember who anderson was.Only if one assumes all of Perot's votes were Bush's for the asking. Using your logic Nader elected G.W. Bush...along with the SCOTUS.

One thing about politics is it's a bullshitter's game when monday morning quarterbacking.
To validate your argument (a popular one) we'd have to take Nader, Anderson, and Perot out of the races and assume everything else would have been the same. The unknown consequences of third party candidates entering a race are never known.
Take one candidate out ,and maybe others never vote? The dynamics shift. There is possible way to judge how a race would have ended up looking back. It's all guess work that ignores the reality of how systems work.

Carter's message was, "This is your new reality, America. Put on sweater and turn your thermostat down."
Americans rejected that then as they do now.
That actually helps!
