I just can not seem to remember the name of the runner up in the 1976 gop sweepstakes that was called all sorts of names for not backing the gop winner. I guess he must of killed his chances at ever being POTUS.

Ronald Reagan gave us four years of Jimmy Carter.

He didn’t put aside his political needs for the good of the party.

Reagan got 1000+ delegates in 1976.

Dead effer cruzhole only got less than 500 in 2016.

Reagan united the party in his 1976 speech.

Ted kept his small niche cruzlim cult divided from America in his 2016 speech.

Reagan was cheered and delegates wondered if they voted for the wrong guy in 1976.

tedhole was booed both in the arena and backstage.

As a cruznadian, you should be crying because your guy just committed cruzicide.

A number of commentators are playing a little loose with the facts.

Reagan did not endorse Ford at the convention, but his short speech after he lost was very gentlemanly and gracious. Reagan did later endorse Ford, as can be seen in this ad by Reagan:

I only wish someone is beside you with a rubber mallet so that they can boink you in the head next time you compare Cruz to Reagan. It’s the only appropriate response.

1976 Republican National Convention

After giving his acceptance speech, Ford asked Reagan to come and say a few words to the convention; Reagan proceeded to give an eloquent address which virtually overshadowed Ford's speech.

Reagan endorsed Ford and didn’t tell the voters to ‘vote their conscience’!
