Reply #15: I'm glad you used the word "fascinating"...

Because it has been unequivocally that.

If I had to compare it to any other election, I'd have to say that the 1980 election was fascinating, too, in a very notorious way. Of course, you are too young to remember that, but I was about 10 at the time, and I remember Reagan dipping fully into the wayward and listless feelings of people who hadn't had a lot to feel particularly good about by the time 1979 rolled around. The shameless exploitation was too surreal. But there we were, lapping it up.
