United States presidential election, 1984 (Never Ending Curse)

The United States presidential election of 1984 was the 50th quadrennial presidential election. It was held on Tuesday, November 6, 1984. Incumbent President George H. W. Bush had come to office in 1981 following the assassination of President Ronald Reagan. Mondale was considered an extremely weak candidate as he often had trouble appealing to the common man and was criticized by many for his materialized answers to questions during debates and interviews. On top of already having the luxury of being able to play a sympathy campaign, Bush had solid approval numbers as many viewed him as a strong president when it came to foreign affairs. As a result, Bush won the biggest landslide in American history, winning all 50 states and only loosing Washington D.C.
