Dude's been in hospice care since February. Beating the odds at every turn it sounds like.
Jimmy Carter is a very good person, but ineffective because he was too nice to get down and dirty with both Tip O'Neill in congress (who should have been on his side) and with Reagan during the election. It's unfortunate, but nice guys don't end up doing well in American politics most of the time.
I disagree that nice people are bad at politics. I mean we have Tim Waltz today as successful governor and VP-nominee and he might be the nicest man alive.
Carter was a poor communicator and suffered from an ineffective cabinet. As an engineer he approach problems with a practical to find the solution, but sometimes there are no practical solutions and people just need comfort/inspiration from their leaders.
Tim Walz knows how to get down in the dirt when he needs to though. Difference between a nice guy and a nice politician.
