We must be about the same age, and I remember having very similar feelings. I don’t claim to have any special Spidey Sense or anything, but watching that election, even elementary school me could tell that there was something good in Carter and…well, not so good in Reagan, to be polite. If I’d been forced to explain it at the time, I think little me would have said, “Jimmy Carter could be a guest on Sesame Street. Reagan could not.”

From the linked article:
“One Sunday in particular, the sermon was talking about making the world a better place,” Don Witham recalled. “And [the former president] very quietly, put down his head and said, ‘I’ve tried,’ to himself. And I reached forward with both my hands and put them on his shoulders, and I said, ‘And sir, you’ve succeeded.’”
I’m not crying, you’re crying.
