I love how quickly they went from, “let’s see if Mondale can make some somewhat decent gains” to “can Reagan win all 50 states”
Reagan won California. California pretty much secured his Reelection. It was a Breeze.
Back then the media pretended to be unbiased too. Today they would have a meltdown and lash out at anyone that called them out.
...Reagan only lost Minnesota by about 4000 votes...Ron always heard, he would have win Minnesota too, had he pushed a recount...but he saw no need to further humiliate Mondale in his own home state...
@@anarchorepublican5954 Minnesota was irrelevant because Reagan Won the Most Populated State in the Union: California. With CA won by Reagan, his Re-Election was completely fully secured.
@@Tornado1994 ...I remember that night ..Reagan's re-Election was secured ...long before Minnesota...or California..in fact it was called nearly 2 hours before the polls closed in California...angering down ballot Democrats..TV hasn't done that early of a call since...
7:30 PM - Welcome to our election night coverage
7:31 PM - Reagan won, good night!
7:32 PM: "Do we have reruns of Andy Griffith we can run to fill the 8 PM timeslot? Won't be needing it now..."
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣Cowboy Reagan the fastest gun in Usa.
Now its:
7:30PM - Welcome to our election night coverage
2 weeks later - Too early to call
St Louis Blues?
😂😂😂😂
Later that year one of Reagan’s aides asked him what he wanted for Christmas.
In true Reagan fashion he replied “Well, Minnesota would have been nice”
amazing
I dont get why Minnesota is so assbackward , must be the weather there make people stupid that they will continue to believe the party that want to make life difficult.
@@thewestisthebest6608 I have seen a mention that but for a few thousand votes, Minnesota could have been Reagan’s as well.

Compare the professionalism of these three (Jennings, Brinkley and Brokaw) to the meltdowns that their successors would have 32 years later on election night 2016. I don't know what these three men believed politically, but that was the point.
@@noname8710 pj and tb were gop. rather was dnc
No bias? Just look at what they choose to use for each candidates photo. The difference was back then they pretend on air not to be biased since it would be tolerated as the media was, at the time, supposed to be above that.

Horror show
@@davenaoh5545 nah a lot of democrats voted for Reagan. And we were less polarized back then.

@@stephenbates8111 do you think the southern strategy had an impact with southerners voting for liberal economics in the 20th century, then switching to conservative economics as a result of the republican party becoming socially and economically conservative?
@@stephenbates8111 - I live in TN as well. It's so weird going through each election and seeing TN go from red to blue to red again. We went with the winner of every election from 1964 to 2004.

@@alexfilma16 Exactly. Without the electoral college, Reagan's Victory would not seem so impressive, and Hayes 1876, Bush '00, and Trump '16 would not have won.
No, normal for a country in a downward spiral.
@@PrimericanIdol Do you really know history?
The fact over 85% of the DC citizens voted for Mondale when nearly 60% of the rest of the nation voted for Reagan says everything you need to know about the American establishment.
At least Mondale nailed his field goal kick.
LMAO
Laces out
@@danielm8950THE LACES WERE IN!! THEY WERE IN!!
Wow

Fun Fact: Reagan came within 3,761 votes from sweeping all 50 states.
True, but it wouldn't be a perfect sweep due to Washington DC
@@user-rv6cx3rz7t who cares about DC
@@user-rv6cx3rz7t Washington DC isn't a state. They don't even have congresscritters so how they get electoral votes is a complete mystery.
@@user-rv6cx3rz7t you are aware that Washington D.C. is not a state right?
@@jeffcarr5174They are not a state, but they still get 3 electoral votes.
Ronald Reagan also won the Superbowl, Stanley cup, and an Oscar that year.

while Mondale made the Playoffs, but was One and Done.
@@Phil-tt3xg he won content creator of the year too
It would be nice if we could go back to a time when people voted based on the candidate and not just blindly vote for the person with a D or R next to their name.
If we had a president as good and likable as Reagan, maybe that would be possible
@@bigpapi6688I don't think it would be possible. This country is soooooooo divided by political party lines. I think you could put Ted Bundy up there and a majority of the right would vote for him over Biden, and you could put Jeffery epstien up there and the majority of the left would vote for him over Trump. Most voters literally vote for the R or D.
@@Raiders1234 Most voters are morons.
Exactly right !
so basically, never? people always voted along party lines. nowadays is no different
A Republican winning CA, NY, or MA would be a huge deal today. Reagan won all three.
Dude was a chad. He was probably one of the most genuinely electable people ever. It’s strange to think people thought he was an a extremist warmongerer in 1980. I’d say that shows the downright stupidy of Americans from time to time
Are you aware of what Reagan’s beliefs and policies were? He was pro gun law-reform, he was anti nuclear weapon, he was ANTI requiring social security, he was anti-tax increase on income, he was pro tax increase on corporations, and lastly he was pro UNIVERSAL healthcare. Now I ask you this, if he were running today, which party would he align with? Furthermore, if he were running today with these same beliefs, would you vote for him? I can say this, he would win NY, easily.
@@joshuacoldwater He was anti government. He was not anti nuclear weapon, was continuing to stockpile nukes until he got the agreement with the Soviet Union. He also spent trillions on black budget projects and Star Wars. He was also a globalist that continued getting U.S involved in other conflicts, which was nothing more then power projection. His economic policies were not great they were tailored towards the top end and business not the average working class. He was average at best if you look back, short boom then bust. Lot of little wars going on during his time. No he would not win NY CA, MASS or the traditional leftist states. None of the R Gov that won Ca would ever win it today. CA has gone so far left along with NY that I doubt we ever see a R win either ever again.
@@joshuacoldwater The GOP still, his social policies are very aligned and so are his tax policies too. We wouldn't win NY
Back when Americans had some common sense and haven't been utterly brainwashed into being stupid Leftists
I remember as a teen my grandpa saying there was so much red on the screen he thought the color had went out 😂
Your grandfather was either senile or a liar. Red/blue states didn't exist until the 2000 election.
Interesting you mention that, because the Republican color was blue on some TV stations up until the 2000 election. You can see this around the 10-minute mark of this video. But ABC was using red for Republicans even in 1984.
The rest of the media changed blue to mean Democrats as of the 2000 election, so today's younger generations only know Democrats as the blue party.
My nana probably said something similar, too bad she died thanks Regans awful economic policies
@@SergyMilitaryRankingshow so?
@@GLASSMOSCOWANDBEIJING suicide after being released from state run facility after Reagan's healthcare cutbacks
Imagine winning California as a republican
Losing DC should be seen as a badge of honor.
Remember the Night Court joke: I was also Expecting Mondale to carry a second state!
Reagan almost had a full 50 state win. He was just 4 thousand votes away in Minnesota from making that happen.
Ya it’s pretty liberal here it kinda sucks
I'm pretty sure Reagan let Mondale have Minnesota.
@@trystansparks3947 he probably did after Mondale was getting destroyed 😂😂.
Reagan could have won Minnesota if he campaigned more there, but since he already knew that Mondale was gonna be humiliated since the other 49 states were literally gonna go to him, he let Mondale have the chance to win his home state.
Tho after all, you can pretty much say that the election was decided after the second debate. All Reagan had to prove was that he still had the physical and mental capability at 73 years old to be the commander in chief. The joke he cracked, plus Mondale's reaction, says it all. Walter actually did really well in the first debate, which led people to question Reagan's physical state as a candidate.
A 50 state sweep would have been narly tho. At least Walter could have taken pride in having DC vote Democrat literally every time 😂
And he took 44 states in 1980. He was 193-7.
I can't even imagine how Mondale felt not only learning the results, but seeing them unfold at that moment *on live television*
I don't think he was surprised. Everyone was expecting Reagan to win easily.
@@bigverybadtom I mean surprise is one thing, but just the feeling of seeing your results being absolutely OBLITERATED like nothing before, all for the world to note and witness live.
I started my documentary on Election '84 with a press conference Mondale had the morning after the election. He was very pragmatic about it: th-cam.com/video/CzWEMX2RIV0/w-d-xo.html
@@JimHeathChannelwhere is the documentary?
Yeah basically embarrassing yourself in front of the entire nation and the world. Although there’s nothing embarrassing about making it to the final vote
Let's repeat it in 2024, trump 2024
one thing ive noticed is that this news station is straight forward and to the point in this video, the man here shows no bias and speaks in a consistent voice. i'd love to watch a news station like this this is really nice.
Notice how Peter Perfect and David Brinkley always referred to Reagan as Mr. instead of President.
Honestly, CNN when it's doing projections sounds pretty normal, they go "X person won this state and here is their path to victory", etc.
It's only when they cover it that you get the bias like "unfortunately it looks like X is happening"
Wrong. Those bozos HATED Reagan even if the public largely liked him very much.
i didnt notice anything, i had completely forgotten i even made this comment
It's true that the media was biased back then and hated Reagan, but they WERE much better at hiding that bias than today's media.
Mondale won one state. It was his home state. And it was the closest state of all 50. Amazing.
I think Nixon also got 49 states (all but Massachusetts) in 1972. However, Reagan got slightly more electoral votes. God bless Ronald Reagan 🙏
He also didnt live there for over 20 years at the time of this election lmao.
And the only reason Mondale even won that was because Reagan decided not to campaign in MN out of respect. If Reagan really wanted to he would’ve won that too.
@@ChrisSuperDude No, ever since Hubert Humphrey ran Minnesota has had Democrat worship in it's elections.
Which is another reason Minnesota should be returned to Canada.
"No Democrat has ever won without the state of Texas"..... God, have times changed!
I just said that to my wife!
Dems just have to cheet, then they win! 😢
Trump should’ve mentioned that in his court challenges in 2020.
Back then, Texas was blue, and California was red.
Look at Vermont then and now.
Now this was a “red tsunami”.
Oh yes
After the attempt on Trump, who else is ready to see the sequel to this landslide?
@@thethrashyone no
The only places that voted for Mondale:
1. District of Columbia
2. His home state
And Gilligan's Island
Leave it to DC. Fantasyland.
even Iowa and the Dakotas could not Help.
@@joeomalley2835 DC loves DemoCrats
DC is an embarrassment
This was an ass-kicking of epic proportions. Final score 525-13 for Reagan.
But tbh this system makes it look like everyone voted for Reagan. 41% of the country voted for Mondale. Still an asskicking but damn
@@Adriaantje2008it's not about overall votes though it comes down to winning states
@@Adriaantje2008 even if you just consider the popular vote, it was something like 58-41 Reagan, no president I can think of has had that wide of a margin.
❤yes sir 😊
And the closest swing state in that election went to Mondale. It almost could have been 535-3
This video is more relevant now than ever
The algorithm at work
I'd like to hope that the Republicans could repeat this again. 40 years later. Wow. Wouldn't that be something.
@@theyettifromcanada3688 I don't see Trump getting any of the West Coast states or Illinois because of Chicago, but he has a great chance of winning in the mid-300s.
@@AD-gd2wy ya..cali and (almost) all of the west coast thinks way too close to Gavin newsome,so even tho those might stay blue i sure hope its a red tidal wave across the rest of the country. i know trump has one hell of a big fan base here in canada.
@@AD-gd2wy not American, what makes those states so hard to flip? Does cost of living safety etc means nothing to them?
Mr.Reagan cleaned house. I remember this election night like yesterday. Btw I love the way they showed election results back then, very simple and straight to the point.
Mondale winning Minnesota is like the meaningless touchdown a team finally scores in the last 2 minutes of the game when they are losing 65-3.
Yes but it gave vice president Mondale great satisfaction in winning his home state
Field Goal you mean lol.
@@relicman actually I did mean TD. in ‘84 Minnesota had 10 electoral votes Mondale winning gave him 13 total for the election.
@@UGAmike34 sometimes consolation prizes are ok I guess.
Well he did later serve as US Ambassador to Japan during the Clinton years and was an elder statesman of the Democrats Party

Responding with grace after a bitter lose rather that be a 49 state
blowout or a 500 vote lose in Florida used to be a respected
public example of good character
vs spending the next 4 years taking a flamethrower to our government institutions
Legend has it that Reagan won every province in Canada also that night. Along with Mexico, Zimbabwe, Bermuda and the United Kingdom. Even the planet of mars voted for him.
May I remind you that any thought of 'winning' the United Kingdom would have been firmly rebuffed by a certain Mrs Thatcher. It is fortunate indeed that they had a good relationship and mutual understanding.

@@34For47 the polls say otherwise
I can't imagine being in a world where the news is straightforward and just told the news as it is, and people voted whoever without antagonizing each other's candidate or party.
The fact that DC was so far removed from what the people were feeling even back in 1984 is such a telling fact.
Washington, DC has voted Democratic since 1964 after the 23rd Amendment was approved. Similarly, the state of Utah has voted Republican in every election since 1968.
@@JimHeathChannel so what I’m hearing is pick one representative from Washington DC and one representative from Utah to fight to the death, winner gets our country
I mean, it could also just be, you know, DC being a city. A lot of cities voted moreso Democratic in 1984.
So true. It's absurd.
It was majority black, what do you expect?
Reagan: "I am not going to exploit, for political purposes, my opponents' youth and inexperience." Mondale could not help but smiled. 1984.
That quip in the ‘84 debate was the nail in the coffin for Mondale and Mondale knew it
Mondale has said at that exact moment he knew he wasn't going to win. I am Republican but have to say Mindale was a nice guy
Smiled? He laughed out loud!
I think I remember that. Reagan said: There you go again.
@@mike197714Were these the Good Old days or What? If I Could go Back in a Time Machine and Be Put Back in the 80's I'd Stay there!! Anyone else ever Feel this Way?
Anyone got a feeling we're about to see this again in November?
No way will It be this Lop-sided!
I think it will be a landslide, but it is now essentially impossible for a GOP presidential candidate to win CA and HI.
In your dreams lmao, it's gonna repeat 2016 or 2020
It will never be like this again until the country stabilizes. The country was far more united back then than today, and most of the country was in agreement that things had improved, quite a bit, between 1980 and 1984. Reagan won Massachusetts, both times. It truly was a better time.
Very much doubt it. As far as modern landslides go, 350 electoral votes for either side is about as much as they can hope for.
Imagine…. It’s 8 PM and votes are counted! No bursted pipes no stop count.
I miss the good old days where news anchors kept their bias and opinions to themselves.
Yeah Peter Jennings was one of the greats.
I enjoyed watching Maddow cry on election night 2016🤣
Ironically the fairness doctrine was revoked under Reagan which is why they are so biased today, and he even vetoed it when congress tried to bring it back in 1989.
@@johnmartin46412020 was even funnier.
@@dandeluxe8731 Don Lemon cried in 2020 even though he claimed his side won. No one on the right cried. Trump came out and yelled, Tucker and Hannity were angry, but no one cried like Maddow.
I mean, can you even believe how horrible this defeat was. It's incredible.
Mondale must've felt like a real loser by the end and wanted to shout 'WHY DON'T YOU PEOPLE LIKE ME?!'.
@@girlgarde It not that people don't like him, its that reagen was 100 times better.
@@girlgarde😅😅
This was before democrat started rigging elections
It also really exemplifies the issue with our electoral college. Reagan actually only had 60% of the popular vote. If you go by electoral college numbers however, which most people will, you'd think he was somewhere closer to 90% of the popular vote. This probably warps people's views about Reagan and the political landscape he lived in.
Got a feeling we might see something similar this year. The 40th anniversary of this election too
Ronald was a great American president in the 80's

"No Democrat has won the presidency without winning the state of Texas" oh how the turns have tabled
I love it when almost all states were already announced before Minnesota so they could go "Hey, Mondale got one!"

As it turns out, telling people that you are going to raise their taxes as a campaign promise doesn’t work out amazingly well.
At least he was honest though, even if that totally killed off whatever miniscule chance he ever had at winning! That of which was also a big reason as to why he might as well be the first major party candidate to select a woman as his running mate, knowing there wasn't a snowball's chance in Hell that Reagan was going to possibly lose this election, while having virtually no ammunition to throw at his opponent for that matter either. Yet you gotta admit it was fairly impressive that four out of ten voters actually preferred Mondale over Reagan. Not bad for someone who just BARELY won a mere single state if you ask me too! L.O.L.!
@@freakyfornash Right, reagan on the other hand didnt tell us about his plan for Iran Contra which very well could have been going on during this election. And yes, people look at the electoral map and call this a blowout but Mondale did actually win 4/10 voters which if the electoral vote mimicked that, reagan would have won 323 EV's.

New York hasn't been Republican since 1988, and California hasn't been Republican since 1992.
There’s no Republican like this now.
I was born in and still live in Massachusetts to this day. I was born in the '90s, and could never imagine this state voting for a Republican president. Obviously President Reagan is the exception.
Things were way different back then
@@backtobasic8566 different back then. Democrats weren’t complete victim players constantly and radical! There was no antifa and BLM burning cities down while they buy million dollar houses in white communities. Back when we took care of Florida 1st instead of Ukraine which has never helped us in any way. It has helped Joe and Hunter get rich though. We had secure boarders back then and out America 1st! I miss those times! When only women could get pregnant and we could clearly define what a woman was.
@@rs8247 Yes! Totally agree!
We had a 3.2% unemployment rate, interest rates were down, gas was cheap, no inflation and rising wages. It was a fantastic time in America, following the Jimmy Carter 4 year nightmare.
I was born and raised in California, and born in the '90s also, and I never thought I'd see California red! 😮
Love the old school accents and the absolutely simple and dispassionate journalistic coverage, bereft of agenda or gratuitous commentary
Peter Jennings was Canadian. It's not an "old school accent," it's a canadian one.
You said it all, dude! Back when there still was some class left in those tv talking heads.
@@jlma-xc9ol You mean the Canadian accent hasn't changed since the 1980s?
Even Minnesota, Mondale's home state, it went right to the wire. It was almost 50 to NOTHING
Potential 40 year anniversary repeat incoming.
"no democrat has ever won without winning Texas" "republicans have won New Jersey in the last 4 elections"
Man, times have changed lol
New York City and Philly slime oozing into the state over the last 40 yeara lol
People forget Joe Biden came close to winning Texas in 2020 was only off by four points
@@TimmyTheTinman Trump won Texas by roughly 5.6% en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/2020_United_States_presidential_election_in_Texas
@@TimmyTheTinman six points
Lol
The reason he won this big wasn’t because of political view in fact a good amount of people didn’t agree with him but they trusted him. My parents were in high school during the 80s and they said that even though people disagreed with Reagan they still liked and trusted him. Much different from what we see today with politicians.
So erotic and so sensual to think that
Did they trust him with his big iran contra coverup?
I guess the Iran Contra Affair wouldn't break the news for a couple years.
@@RisingRecluse True, it likely had either just started or was about to start around this time.
@@rawn4203he still would've won
It’s just hard to fathom any republican winning any states in the northeast or west coast in today’s environment.
"A recession is when your neighbor loses his job, A depression is when you lose your job, and a recovery is when Jimmy Carter loses his." - Ronald Reagan.
Mondale received three more electoral votes than I got, and I didn't even run.
And you or Mondale would likely have made a better president than Reagan.
@@bemhibbits4157 Thanks! To this day I have mixed feelings about Reagan. No president is 100% bad or 100% good. His second term was way more problematic than his first - probably due in part to his age.
@@bemhibbits4157 Economic prosperity and winning the Cold War sure suck, right?
@@B-and-O-Operator-Fairmont No it was ignoring AIDS and his help-the-rich tax plan. Good orator, no doubt.
@@bigverybadtom Economic prosperity??
In 1986, unemployment was at 7%. Interest rate on a 30 year mortgage was at 9%. A year of slow growth and moderate inflation, and the dollar was weak. WTF are you talking about?? Did you hit your head?
the only reason the cold war ended was because the Soviets finally went broke. Reagan had nothing directly to do with it. Anymore than Clinton had anything to do with the booming tech economy. You thank Reagan for ending the Cold war, you better thank Clinton for the internet.
That is a historical ass kicking that we will never seen again
Especially when they fix the results.
@@patbrooks9823 Oh come on man, it’s time to give it up. Just because your favourite candidate loses doesn’t mean it was rigged. I’m sure if they win next time then it will be a legit win and won’t be rigged this time?
Imagine if this happened again with Trump considering how popular he’s become and how unpopular Biden has become😂😂
@@patbrooks9823 how was it fixed? Regan was enormously popular back then
@@jamesjohnson7701 hes talking about 2020
RIP, Pres. Reagan, and Peter Jennings!
seems like a great time to be alive. people probably got along a lot better. I was only about 4 months old when election took place
@@internallycombusted1 it was the year I graduated from high school and it was my first vote for president. 1984 was a great year!
It wis so intriguing to me to see the Nation as a whole all agree on someone for the most part. I don't think I've lived in a time where it wasnt a razor edge majority.
Dems dominate popular votes since 1992.
It is a good thing. Having closer elections means two things - people making laws are careful about whether they have a public mandate for them, and the opposition is not left as merely a symbolic one, they still have influence, so their supporters are not completely alienated. It also is a symptom of there being a larger clash of ideas and visions for the country, which is good for democracy.
@@Michael-mh2twthat's the reason for the electoral college in a nutshell. Majority doesn't rule but number of states gained=everyone has a voice.
@@Rick-qh2zu I love when votes in battleground and small states have more weight than others
@@shotguncreeper i love when a minority of voters get a majority of the electoral college votes, allowing a deeply unpopular party to remain in power. What an awful system of government.
10:29 Mondale wins Minnesota. Chris Paul hits a huge 3 to cut the lead to 42
CP3 electoral votes
I was in elementary school and my teacher gave us an option for an extra credit assignment…she gave us a map of the U.S. and told us to color the states Reagan wins red and color the states Mondale wins blue.
That was the easiest extra credit ever. Minnesota was blue and the rest was all red.
What a charismatic clean sweep by Reagan in 1984.
I love watching these historical videos…I was too young to remember this happening live but enjoy seeing this so many years later.
I remember and I become more sad with each watching my republic slowly die
I remember this. It was pretty amazing. My parents liked Mondale but voted Reagan as so many others did. They did not like what the Democratic Party was becoming. And just 15 years earlier they were staunch democrats. Most tv stations used blue for republicans and red for democrats. I think only abc did the opposite.
L parents.
would reagan support trump NEVER!!!
@@patrickmulroney9452 who cares? Let it go.
Your parents were smart to figure out how the party was becoming bad . glad they saw the light
@@patrickmulroney9452 And how would you know? Bob Dole did.
This is how the 2024 election should go based off the democrat candidate
It is predicted that history may repeat itself this year.
@@M0rshu64 it will
My history teacher was a high ranking worker on the Mondale Ferraro campaign.
He said they all knew they basically had no hope.
Mondale was like Mccgovern. Knew he couldn’t beat a popular incumbent but hey they had to put up somebody. 😂😂.
Incredible we could confirm poll closures this quickly in 1984 but in 2020 California needed three weeks!!!!
Biden needed extra time to fabricate mail in ballots from dead people
Pretty sure California finished in like a day. I dunno wtf you're talking about.
@@DaDARKPass California has a higher population than Canada. It would take them FOREVER!
@@TheLordOfNothing Believe whatever you want, but it took them a day, even with a population of 40 million.
@@DaDARKPass Didn't know that. I made an educated guess based on past elections.
Let this happen in 2024... in favor of Trump.. and say buh bye to sleepy Joe..
lol, now it’s Kamalala Harris 😂
Who everyone universally hates.
@@yeezyszn7208 no they don’t. But please underestimate her
The democrats in 200 more years. "The party switch, Ronald Reagan was a democrat". Lol
My 1st time voting was 1984 and I remember having a Reagan/Bush bumper sticker on my car. N.J. was a different state then. Great memories and yes America loved President Reagan
Too bad about all the black and gay people he killed :(
my First Presidential Vote too!...and I never ever regretted that one..
That’s embarrassing lmao
@@travisdarko5781
🔴254 Electoral Votes REAGAN
to
🔵3 Electoral Votes MONDALE
...that was what was truly embarrassing...
📺⇠😆 even liberal SNL did a hilarious skit..." since Everyone was voting for Reagan...they asked Mondale, why not you Vote for him too, and make it unanimous?"
Too bad. Given that trickle down economics slowly gutted our economy, how does one profiteer 2 separate world wars and still manage to squander that generational wealth in one lifetime?
One cool thing about watching these is seeing the change in electoral votes. Texas was only worth 29, and since then it has gained 11!
This election was the first election I voted in at 19 years of age. Happy to say I voted for Reagan and in those days we thought we had gotten the country back on track and it would stya that way for a long time. I went to Basic Training the next day.
Wow. Those are two flattering pictures of Reagan and Mondale.
I was 8 days old. What a blowout
I was 9 years 8 months
2.5 years lol
I was -20
I was -39 (born yesterday)
I was -21
I think Mondale can still do it, don't give up
This is such a time capsule ❤
If this were a college football game, they'd be kneeling in victory formation before halftime.
Then the back ups come in and start increasing their stats as well 😂
