Where does the Kitty Dukakis question from this 1988 Presidential Debate rank on the wildest questions of all time?

[concise]

Not even a warm up question, just starting it right off. Imagine that hanging over your head for the whole night and the rest of the campaign.

Hahahahahaha. What the fukk? This actually happened? Lmaoooo.

They set that dude up for that.

Willie Horton was the icing that doomed him.

 

[get these nets]

Seems that it was a William Horton related question.

Dukakis had good ideas about prison and law enforcement reform, as he mentioned in his answer.
But,a prisoner took advantage of those reforms to commit more crime.

Republicans used that to derail Dukakis and he never recovered.

Ngl Willie Horton always seemed like a damn set up. Like they let him out just for this out come.

 

[JadeB]

Dukakis had some ahead-of-his-time ideals on solving crime. He might have help end the War on Drugs and crack era earlier

Hahahahahaha. What the fukk? This actually happened? Lmaoooo.

It's one thing to read about it in the papers, seeing the video is crazy.
George, Sr. pivoting to emphasize death penalty for cop killers was just as unhinged.







Even he felt it was a fair question, he just wished he explained it better for people seeing him for the 1st time.

 

[Doobie Doo]

Breh should've turned that into some bars

I just remember Dukakis got smoked at election time. The difference in popular vote wasn't relatively enormous but in Electoral College? Good Lawd.

At least he did better than Walter Mondale.
