Second Presidential Debate with President Reagan and Walter Mondale, October 21, 1984 

Mondale almost killed the Democratic party. He should be hailed as a hero for that.

Now I remember why I voted for President Reagan both times & why he was the greatest president in my lifetime of 88 yrs.

Democrats and republicans back then conducted themselves with respect

32:55, the moment mondale lost the election

For a guy in his early 70s, Reagan was looking good and had a fantastic head of hair!.... Mondale was completely trounced in the election, with Reagan taking 49 states and almost a clean sweep. Mondale, not helped by his link to Jimmy Carter as VP, no doubt a kind and decent guy like Carter but he was never going to beat Reagan in 84, no one would have.

>a guy with a flattop head >asking a good looking guy with a full head of hair if he was old Probably the best moment in presidential debate history.

Mondale looked older than Reagan!

I remember watching this debate. Mondale looked haggard, with huge bags under his eyes; he looked much better in the first debate. When answering questions, President Reagan looked at the the person who asked it, while Mondale looked into the camera. After President Reagan's age joke reassured voters, the election was over and Mondale later said that he knew it.

Reagan was a total badass 😎

When Carter was president my father who worked in heavy construction couldn't find a job because there were none. Then Reagan got elected and my father worked steady all the way till he retired thanks to Reagan saving the country.

My all-time favorite part of this debate was at 32:45-33:30. What Ronald Reagan said at 33:16-33:30 was an absolute classic & in my opinion, what he said at 33:45-34:00 was just as awesome. I was born in early-January of 1989 & always idolized Ronald Reagan--hence why I'm a Conservative. I always looked at debates/speeches/etc. that Ronald Reagan gave during his tenure as President & when he was on the campaign trail in 1980, respectively, as well & got more of an in-depth understanding & feeling as to why I looked up to him, as well.

As a Black Man raised in the 80s thank GOD for Reagan.👊🏿

You can ask anyone what moment stood out during this debate or what they distinctly remember. Anything before or after that has been long forgotten. Reagan's , off the cuff reply, cooked Mondale's goose at 32:50 and had the debate won.

Notice how Reagan doesn't interrupt

Who else in enjoying watching this already knowing that Reagan will carry 49 states? XD Also, for those that don't know, Walter Mondale is still alive here in September 2020.

Mr. Reagan pulled down the Berlin wall down, with the help of Margaret Thatcher. Thanks, Mr.Reagan No more questions.

I love that Mondale laughed along with the age joke. Shows that politicians showed respect at little jabs back then.

I was a 24 year old healthy young Male very much appreciating everything that was slowly changing. At first south florida in 1979 was gas lines that stretched for Miles. No discontent from myself or coworkers president reagean inspired us all with patience and true belief that it would get better, and it did. My forever hero President Ronald Reagan you are so very missed. We have hope that there is another, President Trump bring us back once again!!!!!!

Mondale and Reagan were looking for the same things - and were respectful of each other. Oh how I miss those days. Together we stand and divided we fall.

My grandpop always said Democrats take money out of his pocket and Republicans leave his pockets alone

We need Reagan now > impossible

Reagan was a wonderful President and well loved. He had a wonderful sense of humor but was all business when necessary. He was smart and quick thinking. Mondale is a spinner at best.

At this point the Cold War had not been won. We needed an old-school president who could rattle his saber effectively. Mondale would have shown weakness across the international stage, and opened up countless doors for attacks against us and our allies.

Hello!Where are the closed captioning please?

Visit the Ronald Reagan museum in California, it is so beautiful you will be there all day and you will see everything from his career from the very beginning till the end which has his and Nancy's body buried there it is timeless..

President Ronald Reagan’s famous quote “My opponent's youth and inexperience” 32:45 The Second Reagan - Mondale Presidential Debate of October 21, 1984. Moderator: EDWIN NEWMAN - formerly of NBC News and now a syndicated columnist for King Features. Panelists: HENRY “HANK” TREWHITT - diplomatic correspondent for the Baltimore Sun. MR. NEWMAN: Mr. Trewhitt, your question to President Reagan? (The President’s Age) Mr. Trewhitt. Mr. President, I want to raise an issue that I think has been lurking out there for 2 or 3 weeks and cast it specifically in national security terms. You already are the oldest President in history. And some of your staff say you were tired after your most recent encounter with Mr. Mondale. I recall yet that President Kennedy had to go for days on end with very little sleep during the Cuban missile crisis. Is there any doubt in your mind that you would be able to function in such circumstances? THE PRESIDENT: Not at all, Mr. Trewhitt, and I want you to know that also I will not make age an issue of this campaign. I am not going to exploit, for political purposes, my opponent’s youth and inexperience. [Laughter and applause] If I still have time, I might add, Mr. Trewhitt, I might add that it was Seneca or it was Cicero, I don’t know which, that said, “If it was not for the elders correcting the mistakes of the young, there would be no state.”

God Bless Reagan Forever

We were so blessed to have President Reagan!!

That fact is Reagan won the Cold War while Mondale complained about an arm's race. We now know who was right.

This is the most revealing and entertaining presidential debate in the TV era, with the most bizarre ending. Regan had a bad first debate. The country wasn’t quite out of the economic doldrums and the media was hounding Regan about his age. Mondale was full of himself. He kept saying what a president should do and must do. But he never said what he would do. He came across as a bore. Regan prepared and demonstrated to the entire country he was still sharp and knew what is vision for the country was. He was amiable and connected easily with the viewers. The age question was an absolute home run. His only blip was when he wandered off at the end and they had to cut him off. He became the great communicator that night and country rewarded him with a 49-1 state rout. Watching from the prism of 40 years later I was surprised at how far left the democratic have come. Mondale was considered pretty far left back then but he we would be too conservative for today’s democrats. He wanted to build a wall. Regan wanted amnesty for some. My, my how times have changed.

looks like wm may have voted for Reagan.

6:30 "At this moment, we are confronted with the extraordinary story of a CIA guerrilla manual for the anti-Sandinista contras whom we are backing, which advocates not only assassinations of Sandinistas but the hiring of criminals to assassinate the guerrillas we are supporting in order to create martyrs. IS THIS NOT IN EFFECT OUR OWN STATE SUPPORTED TERRORISM?"

I don’t like Mondale but I gotta give him props for refusing to make it about age.

I live in Kansas City and Ronald Reagan is my favorite president

People hated Regan too, just like Trump, but look, this man was one of the best presidents we ever had.

8:57 "Mr. President...Isn't having the CIA investigate its own manual in such a sensitive area is not sort of like sending the fox to investigate the chicken coup a second time."

President Reagan appointed me United States Diplomat for The United States of America in 1987 and to be activated in 2019. "Semper Fidelis" United States Diplomat Larry Kuchenmeister

President Reagan's Star Wars defense system,was incredibly great to protect our country. Yet now,China and Russia have super sonic missiles,I hope the Star Wars defense works against super sonic weapons!

Maybe if he’d got that last line in he would’ve won Minnesota

His voice was soothing. Made you feel safe.

1:23:17 very underrated speech

Poor old Mondale did not have an ice cubes chance in hell. Besides, the poor guy looks like he had not slept in decades. This is one we got right. Reagan acted more presidential than any of his contemporaries. He should have gotten an Emmy.

it was over before it began, but it was really over when the President answered the question starting at 32:49 to 33:38!!!

Mondale Reminds Me Spongebob Trying To Get His License While Patrick Tells Him What To Do With The Radio In His Head...Reminds Me Of Biden Vs Trump

Mmm...a good President Reagan was.

49 out of 50 state win. Only MN embarrassed themselves.

I knew I would n t want to vote for Walter Mondale in 1984 and Geraldine Ferraro UGGH !

Reagan was waiting to hit that ball out of the park.

I find Mondale as passive. Reagan was a doer. That's what we needed at that time, a doer, a go-getter.

GREAT APPRECIATION ❤️ AND I LOVE YOU

Best president of all time

I just loved how Reagan casually roasted Mondale! 33:25

Let’s go brandon 🍦🍦🍦

God I love Ronald Regan

If Your Mind, is in the Right Place...... You might just Realize what the American Dream truly Is.....Then You can Take Control of Your Own Life.

10:20 "This manual -- several thousands of which were produced -- was distributed, ordering political assassinations, hiring of criminals, and other forms of terrorism. Some of it was excised, but the part dealing with political terrorism was continued. How can this happen? How can something this serious occur in an administration and have a President of the United States in a situation like this say he didn't know? A President must know these things. I don't know which is worse, not knowing or knowing and not stopping it."

So Mondale was a war hawk...who wanted to cut the military...

32:50 time of old age question

Excellent Democratic Debate

💥.

Mondale, The First Puppet, Reading Teleprompter Only

I wonder what Reagan would say to Nigeria and the genocide of Christians if he were alive today? It seems to me honestly the leaders aren't bothering much. I wouldn't want anyone going through that for any reason. Just curious, would love to see a strong leader SOMEWHERE stand up. that's all.

Ditz Mondale !

Ron looks a bit my old teacher mrs bird and a bit of mr Evans

33:20

33:20 -- When Ronald Reagan delivered this one-liner, you can clearly see the tickled expression on Walter Mondale's face as the audience laughed and applauded. Yet deep down in his soul, Mondale instantly knew it was game over -- and eventually took the biggest ass-whipping in Americal electoral history, losing 49 out of 50 states in a massive landslide.

Rest In Peace Walter Mondale 🙏

Not interested in subscribing.

46:10 Mondale Wants You To Compete For Wage With Someone Who Doesnt Have To Pay Taxes. If An Employer Hires Them, the Government Will Charge Business Owners And Employees For Past Taxes...Good Job Government. You Are Not Only Against Immigrants, But Also Against Citizens. Good Luck

Biden debating Trump????

Mondale is talking like he is reading from a teleprompter and cant having a hard time speaking, in see why reagan won haha

MY OURS LOVE TOWARDS YOU AS MARRIED COUPLE SON &DAUGHTER -IN-LAW... MY PRANAM. . BHASKAR BOSE... 26/2/24

sos.kore. 100percent.

When it comes to the question of illegal aliens, let me tell all of you a very true story of one illegal person who came to the USA and tried to insist in our army and go and fight in Vietnam for a country he was not even a citizen of ,and would have given his life for. This is not a new story but this is something that has happened over and over again ever since our first president was at that time was commanding a rag tag army that had a almost nonexistent supply to do the impossible at that time, his army was made up of people from other countries, so in my friends case willing to help like that join our army and fight our war and hide the truth of being illegal has my admiration for ever. And he did not even speck English, anyone willing to do that can be my friend and be welcomed at my home and his name will be household word in my fathers eye's, you all should rethink about what you call illegal alien , was the smartest person I've ever had chance to have called my friend
