Sorry this actually pisses me off right now. This entire thing is seen as a legendary blunder, Dukakis was in a tank! It destroyed him! Trump saluted a North Korean general! The dictator of North Korea stared at him doing it like what the fuck man, but Dukakis was in a tank and ruined forever!

Remember when Howard Dean's entire campaign collapsed because he yelled "Yah!" after an extremely successful early primary? That one is still bizarre to me

I thought it was the debate performance and Willie Horton release that sank Dukakis? The tank thing, I thought, was just seen as weird and out of touch near the end of his campaign.

This is kind of a personal hobbyhorse of mine so I apologize if you've heard me say this before but stuff like the Dukakis tank and Dean scream I think can be attributed to Republicans who own the media just replaying this shit over and over and telling us all how to feel about it.

This alone should completely disqualify the doofus First Felon from being re-elected. Only an imbecile would behave this way.

Howard Dean was destroyed forever for making a weird noise one time.

Dukakis was dead in the water when the tank pic came what are you talking about, that was after he ate shit in the debates and Bush did his racebaiting shit, why are you so obsessed with this weird nationalism to the point of rewriting modern history

Times and values change. Biden dropped out of the 1988 campaign because he was proven to have plagiarized speeches. Gary Hart was the front runner that same election but dropped out when extra-marital affairs surfaced.

Extra points if you know that Dukakis drove a tank when he was in the Army.
