1984 Democratic Presidential Candidates Debate | Jesse Jackson Walter Mondale Gary Hart
Archival video of Democratic Presidential Candidates Debate from March 11, 1984 in Atlanta, GA moderated by NBC news anchor John Chancellor.
Former Vice President Walter Mondale, Senators Gary Hart (D-CO) and John Glenn (D-OH), former Senator George McGovern (D-SD), and Jesse Jackson participated in a debate for the 1984 Democratic presidential nomination. Vice President Mondale questioned the depth of Gary Hart’s policy proposals, asking “Where’s the Beef,” a slogan from a popular fast food TV commercial. - CSPAN
The 1984 Democratic presidential primaries were the selection process by which voters of the Democratic Party chose its nominee for President of the United States in the 1984 U.S. presidential election. Former Vice President Walter Mondale was selected as the nominee through a series of primary elections and caucuses culminating in the 1984 Democratic National Convention held from July 16 to July 19, 1984, in San Francisco, California.
As of 2020, this is the earliest Democratic primary in which all primary winners (of at least one contest) are still living.
Only three candidates won any state primaries: Walter Mondale, Gary Hart, and Jesse Jackson. Initially, former Vice President Mondale was viewed as the favorite to win the Democratic nomination. Mondale had the largest number of party leaders supporting him, and he had raised more money than any other candidate. However, both Jackson and Hart emerged as surprising, and troublesome, opponents for Mondale.
Jackson was the second African-American (after Shirley Chisholm) to mount a nationwide campaign for the presidency, and he was the first African-American candidate to be a serious contender. He garnered 3.5 million votes during the primaries, third behind Hart and Mondale. He managed to win Washington DC, South Carolina, and Louisiana, and split Mississippi, where there were two separate contests for Democratic delegates. Through the primaries, Jackson helped confirm the black electorate's importance to the Democratic Party in the South at the time. During the campaign, however, Jackson made an off-the-cuff reference to Jews as "Hymies" and New York City as "Hymietown", for which he later apologized. Nonetheless, the remark was widely publicized, and derailed his campaign for the nomination.[1] Jackson ended up winning 21% of the national primary vote but received only 8% of the delegates to the national convention, and he initially charged that his campaign was hurt by the same party rules that allowed Mondale to win. He also poured scorn on Mondale, saying that Hubert Humphrey was the "last significant politician out of the St. Paul-Minneapolis" area. - Wkipedia

I got fifty bucks saying Mondale loses is the election. Takers?
Ronald reagan was completely invincible, no one had a chance to defeat Ronald reagan. Gary hart was the only one who would have at least given Ronald reagan a fight.
A few more years after they showed this on air, crack would devastate the inner cities that still have a ripple effect to this day.

I remember the days before crack, during and after. Now I see more drug addicted whites out in the open passed out in the street. Today it is opioids, meth cocaine.
How did Mondale win here lol, I'm not surprised he lost by a landslide considering how weak his campaign was.
This is timeless and timely. It needs to be studied by anyone who is serious about trying to understand how the levers of politics work against the average citizen in order to keep the status quo as it is. Most of the political arguments of 2020 are the same arguments of 1984.
I remember when Jesse Jackson was running. I was in elementary school at the time.
I can't believe I'm watching this tonight (American Time Zones) for the 40th anniversary of this debate when there were only 5 nominees left. You can find "Where's the beef?" in timestamp 40:18.
I think Jesse handled himself well... and watchin this for the first time in 2020, *I have a new found RESPECT for him!*
I never saw this debate before; wasn't paying much attention to politics back in the early 80s. Thank you for sharing.
A less sensationalist debate than current debates. I may not agree with them but it's clear they've put thought into their positions.
Jesse Jackson - the first person I ever voted for and happily at that
Thanks for posting this...good stuff!
the lady introducing looks like Steward from MadTV. NOO
Was too buzy watching MTV at 13 to be concerned with this mumble- jumbo. Now I actually understand what they're saying, and it politics as usual
and nearly 40s or Reagnomics we have nothing to show for except run down factories rich getting richer and the poor getting poorer
I'm GLAD Jesse Jackoff Never Made It!!

48:30 hart says "there you go again" to mondale lol. What a great debate, some of the best political minds of a generation battling it out
I wish I could understand Jesse Jackson, but his manner of speech is difficult to understand.
John Chancellor is such a good moderator.
Messy Jesse!
I was 11 in 84 but I dont remember this being so retro looking
Rev. Jackson just couldn't put a sentence together coherently. He could have been Obama in 1984, but I always felt that hurt him...

America wasn't ready for a black man to be President in 1984 cause too many of the WW2 folks were still around. Jesse is a powerful speaker and he can move the audience to tears it's just that America has a love lust relationship with white males.

Jesus would have lost to Reagan in a landslide in 1984. Also Jackson never won an election prior. Obama he was and is not.
Wow it's amazing how many years later the issues are still relevant today in 2020,I'm glad Regan defeated Mondale 49 state landslide.
Remember the past as we prepare for the future.!! Only we learn from " Our Elders" or value the lessons of history.......Peace

This should be a model for how politics should be. They disagree without personal attacks, insults or drama. There’s obvious respect for each other and the dignity of the office they are seeking.
Do you want the full show of the 1st annual celebration of black music back in 1999?
I would like for you to post the Saturday Night Live when Jesse hosted and started in some skits. Think it aired in 85.

Jesse looked out of place doing comedy. I was never keen on politicians and nonentertainers hosting SNL.
