Highlights

1) Says there is no evidence Russia altered the election

2) Didn't vote for Hillary in primary

3) Says Obama fell far short of his promises, especially in the Middle East, which especially made Carter disappointed

4) Says the media is being unreasonable to trump, says he has never seen a media go harder on a politician. Says it is unprofessional that the media brings up possible dementia

5) He thinks players should stand for anthem, and find more appropriate ways to protest

Carter was not a moderate democrat in office. The fact that he appears so reasonable and tame in this interview with NYT shows how far they have lurched leftwards

It’s also possible he’s gotten more moderate.

Amazing that he has made such a change. He was once considered a far leftist.

Nice to see he's using his mind finally.

He's about to commit suicide via double tap to the back of the dome

Duh. That won't stop Never Trumpers and liberals getting as much as hay as they can to use to stop Trump from implementing the agenda.

No shite.

Obama had the prefect opportunity to be the post racial President that brought people together and he only turned out to be a race baiting piece of shite that huddled together regularly with Jesse and Al and then carried on Bush's warmongering legacy in the mideast while somehow looking like the biggest weakling ever to serve as president.

Pretty telling how you will never see a single member of the Bush family say anything like that about Trump even when they're more conservative than Jimmy Carter is.

I wasn't alive when Carter was in office so I missed a lot of the policies he enacted/supported, but I'm willing to bet he was more of a moderate than Obama and the Democrat politicians we have in office right now.

Carter is a 1970s Democrat which compared to today's left-wingers looks like Rush Limbaugh

Carter is a classy guy. I don't agree with him politically but he has a good heart. He isn't the type that despises America like most progs today

He's in his 90s now. He knows one day soon he will be trying to get into heaven.

I can't believe I am saying this, and it is painful to say, but apparently I agree with Jimmy Carter on a few things.

That being said, still an awful President and I disagree with him on 99% of things.

By modern standards, Carter is a right winger.
