Wow this is fascinating. So much more polite and the candidates actually discuss specific policies, numbers, data etc. and this has to be because the population is better informed with an overall better education. Now reflect on what is different in society and why this must be.

[@thegreatcheesedemon]

The things discussed at a debate or in a candidate's platform have tenuous links to how people vote. This was one intimate venue and not the entire electorate, after all. I think the cultural shift is real, but I don't think it's because people were better educated or better informed in 1980. I think it's the incentives of the media, and the development of strategy. In terms of personal reaction, seeing Bush calmly discuss how he was worried that his opponent would lower taxes by too much made me think it's a no-brainer that he lost.

[@ryanwilliams6206]

Bush can try to sound smart. But he was a major criminal that did every poor job as president. Would take trump anyday over bush

[@Rickswars]

Our liberal media and democrat party today are horrible people, don't blame the good common people of today for their actions. that's what they want you to do!.

I thought the same thing. It felt like smart adults talking straight to an audience that they also assume is smart. It is also nice not to have all the virtue-signaling about race or women by the media or debaters. I would vote for both of them.

[@offscreen6578]

@@Rickswars I believe it's more complicated than that. I wouldn't say it's liberal media specifically but most of the media in general. With the rise of clickbait content in the age of internet oversaturation, news articles seemed less intent on reporting the truth and more intent on getting clicks. There's also the problem of absolute tribalism propagated by similar media outlets, social media outrage, and of course, the fact that Trump is currently the only representative of the Republican party despite being the most polarizing figure of this generation. This causes Republicans who don't even necessarily agree with him to feel as though they must support him, since the alternative is not supporting Republicans at all.

[@jasonmorrow1981]

Reagan was sharp and factual. I can see why people voted for him. So likable. Poor George. His policy would have been better, but he didnt have the "it" factor.

[@sandyjuntunen4088]

Bush didn't have the courage to stick with the principles Reagan had. He was supposed to continue the policies, and rebuild our economy after all we spent rebuilding the military and bringing down communism. He raised taxes instead, bc dems promised to cut spending, of course never did, and it ruined the plan and cost him a 2nd term.

[@iDeathMaximuMII]

Bush Sr. was a good President but I believe his worst mistake was the promise of "No new taxes" as while he was definitely riding Reagan's ungodly popularity at the time, he had managed to make many who voted for him in 1988 to feel betrayed by 1992

It has been years since I saw this on TV. I must say that it is rather interesting. Reagan and Bush, to my knowledge were never friends but they are taking the party way here and being nice to one another. Reagan must have found some reason later on to bring Bush in, which I wish he had never done. The Bush dynasty way back to Bushe's father, then later we will get "W" which brought our country down to the depths more than any Democrat ever dreamed of (except for several whacky ones that are now in the 2016-2020's years.) Anyway, I'll leave the Bush Dynasty dark things go by. I wish debates would be more civil and less hostility as they have been for last 30 years or so...this struggle for money and power in a nation as ours has raised its ugly head and sadly will stay until as all authoritarian countries do, we are headed to hell on earth. The story of the human heart that is all about self.

I think it’s fair to distinguish and separate Bush Sr from W. W was way more hawkish and neoconservative than his father.

Politicians used to be really smart!

[@josephrobles3067]

Ronald Reagan and George Bush ran the country for 8 years together George Bush and Dan Quayle one ran the country for four years after that and then you have George Bush Junior ran the country for 8 years before Barack Obama took office afraid to tell me right here Ronald Reagan and George Bush and both their wives have passed me all four of them rest in peace

[@jacobadams4559]

Very good debate. Reagan set up Bush to win the election, but his policies set up Bush for failure. The "no new taxes" thing didn't help either

[@trialleadgen334]

Reagan was the best president America had. Three terms - two of his and one of bush speaks for his achievements

Can an American here tell me what the organisation HEW is?

[@jimgreene1545]

Dept of Health, Education and Welfare. It became two departments under Carter, probably mere months before this debate happened

George H W Bush was pictured outside the Texas School Book Depository building in Dealey Plaza, Dallas on 22 November 1963.

Bush was a RINO

[@swishdipper4362]

Both of them were on immigration. They were able to pass tax cuts to mask that.

[@RELubber]

Bush: ALWAYS a RINO.

[@rickydunn3921]

He was the last president to serve his country. He is a respectable and good man who loved this country. I see how you would say Rino. That’s Bull he was always a very moderate Republican. He was a good man. The secret service said they were so classy and knew everyone’s name that worked there.

[@OnizukaSenseSay]

@@rickydunn3921 At one time I would have agreed with you (had I not learned what I know now about the Bush family).

[@RELubber]

@@rickydunn3921where to start: “ Read my lips no new taxes”. One year later: new taxes. He called for a “ new world order “ in his inaugural speech. Those are not actions of a true Republican. He accomplished nothing, merely serving as Reagan’s third term. He admitted as much in his autobiography. RINO ALL THE WAY.

[@shang0h]

These poor RINOs had no idea what would be done with their legacy

[@daveyork0]

Two US Presidents. Lots of material here for Dana Carvey

We did cut the son’s allowance but left him with an unlimited credit card.

The Kennedy brothers ACT for us.

[@Jxdemelo1961]

We are so accustomed these days to candidates launching personal attacks on each other, the discussion by these two men debating real issues seems to bore us.

[@fastdadws4985]

RONALD REAGAN was a Warrior for God. Any questions?

[@CarlosPerdomo]

No wonder our country did better under these men. Only Trump has done better.
