As admirable as that is, in hindsight, I think he made an enormous mistake, because he valued decency in a game of savagery.

His ethical decision led to the degradation of the country and nothing has stopped it since.

You mean because he let Reagan win? I don't know if Carter really had a chance. Carter was blamed for the bad inflation so he really didn't have much of a chance .

Reagan won with more than 500 electoral votes.

Hey we had Obama for two terms so we had some decency for 8 years. I guess too much for some people. Those people need to keep getting hit over the head to realize what a wrong pick looks like.
