I have a button from Walter Mondale’s unsuccessful 1984 campaign.

The button includes the slogan, “America needs new leadership.”

Mondale ran alongside Geraldine Ferraro.

A friend of mine purchased the Mondale button from a thrift store in the small town of Pawnee Rock, Kansas.

In 1984, Reagan ran for reelection against Mondale.

Mondale won his home state of Minnesota and the District of Columbia.

Reagan won the remaining 49 states.

I have a button from Jimmy Carter’s campaign.

The button displays the slogan, “Leaders, for a change.”

Carter ran alongside Walter Mondale.

The side of the button specifies it was from the 1976 presidential race.

Last year, I purchased the Carter button from Eclectic Legacy on Etsy.

Remember when Democrats were accused of "#ageism" for even mentioning #Reagan's age during the 1984 Debate?

Ronnie's debate prep was so concerned about having to respond to the "too old" question that they came up with the "youth & inexperience" zinger used against #Mondale.
