*”ladies + ‘gents’…behold the face of the worst ‘loser’ in the history of ‘presidential elections’*

🥀☠️-the faithfully departed-☠️🥀

.

*born ‘5 january 1928’*

(‘clayton’ / ‘minnesota’)

(so he’s ~ ‘age 91’ as of ‘7 may 2019’)

*still ‘kicking’ as of ‘2 OCTOBER 2019’*

*died on ’19 april 2021’*

(‘minneapolis’ / ‘minnesota’)

“natural causes”

*age 93*

(same age as ‘reagan’)

.

*’walter frederick ‘fritz’ mondale’ is an ‘american ‘democratic party’ politician’ who served as the 42nd vice president of the ‘united states’ (‘1977’ – ‘1981’) under president ‘jimmy (james?) carter’, and as a ‘united states senator‘ from ‘minnesota’ (‘1964’ – ‘1976’)*

.

(he was the democratic party’s ‘presidential nominee’ in the ‘united states presidential election’ of ‘1984’, but lost to ‘ronald reagan’ in a ‘landslide’)

.

(‘reagan’ won ’49 states’…)

(…while ‘mondale’ was only able to win his ‘home state’ of ‘minnesota’ and ‘washington DC’)

“were things really ALL THAT BAD back then?”

(even my poor guitar teacher ‘don juan’ said he voted republican reagan in ‘1980’ because of how allegedly ‘terrible’ jimmy carter was at being ‘president’)

(‘mondale’ was born in (‘ceylon’ / ‘minnesota’))

(graduated from ‘macalester college’ in ‘1951’)

(he then served in the ‘united states army’ during the ‘korean war’ before earning a ‘law degree’ in ‘1956’)

(he married ‘joan adams’ in ‘1955’)

(working as a ‘lawyer’ in ‘minneapolis’, ‘mondale’ was appointed to the position of ‘attorney general’ in ‘1960’ by ‘governor orville freeman’ and was elected to a ‘full term’ as ‘attorney general’ in ‘1962’ (with 60% of votes cast))

(he was appointed to the ‘united states senate’ by ‘governor karl rolvaag’ upon the resignation of ‘senator hubert humphrey’ consequent to humphrey’s election as ‘vice president’)

(‘mondale’ was subsequently elected to a ‘full senate term’ in ‘1966’ + again in ‘1972’, resigning that post in ‘1976’ as he prepared to succeed to the ‘vice presidency’ in ‘1977’)

(hmm…)

(“humphrey the 2nd”?)

(both ‘minnesota senators’)

(both members of ‘democratic party’)

(both democratic nominees in 20th century presidential elections)

(both lost presidential elections by ‘large margins’)

.

(while in the ‘senate’, he supported…)

‘consumer protection’

‘fair housing’

‘tax reform’

*the ‘de-segregation’ of schools*

.

(importantly, he served as a member of the ‘select committee’ to study ‘governmental operations’ with respect to ‘intelligence activities’)

(aka ‘church committee’)

(in ‘1976’, ‘carter’ (the ‘democratic presidential nominee’) chose ‘mondale’ as his ‘vice presidential running mate’ in the forthcoming election)

(the ‘carter’ / ‘mondale’ ticket defeated incumbent president ‘gerald ford’ and his ‘vice presidential running mate’ (‘bob dole’))

(‘carter’ + mondale’s time in office was marred by a ‘worsening economy’ and, although both were renominated by the ‘democratic party’, they lost the ‘1980 election’ to republicans ‘ronald reagan’ + ‘george H W bush’)

(in ‘1984’, ‘mondale’ won the ‘democratic presidential nomination’ + campaigned for a ‘nuclear freeze’, the ‘equal rights amendment’, an “increase in ‘taxes'”, and a “reduction of ‘USA public debt'”)

(after his defeat by ‘reagan’, ‘mondale’ joined the minnesota-based law firm “‘dorsey’ & ‘whitney'” + the “national democratic institute for ‘international affairs’ (‘1986’ – ‘1993’))

(“president bill clinton’ appointed ‘mondale’ united states ambassador to ‘japan’ in ‘1993’)

(he retired in ‘1996’)

(in ‘2002’, ‘mondale’ ran for his old ‘senate seat’, agreeing to be the last-minute replacement for democratic senator ‘paul wellstone’, who had been killed in a ‘plane crash’ during the final 2 weeks of his ‘re-election campaign’)

(however, ‘mondale’ narrowly lost that ‘race’)

*ouch*!

(not quite the ‘welcome’ he was expecting from his formerly beloved constituents)

.

(he then returned to working at “‘dorsey’ & ‘whitney'” and remained active in the ‘democratic party’)

(‘mondale’ later took up a part-time teaching position at the university of minnesota’s “‘hubert h humphrey’ school of ‘public affairs'”)
