Destroying Lies: Reagan DID Campaign for Gerald Ford In 1976.

Lately I have seen a lie circulated by the left, and by people still enamored by Ted Cruz: That Reagan neither endorsed Ford at the Convention, nor went on to endorse him later.

I present to you proof that the latter is simply a lie.

Reagan for Ford ad '76

Good move. I find that when I source a powerful idea, sometimes it erupts in the memespace. I hope this one does.

I’m no Buckhead, but I play one on TV. :)

Not the same. Kasich just had to be present, not speak. He’s the host. The Trumps should have personally invited them, made an effort at least. A lot of assholery all the way around.

It’s ridiculous for Levin to compare Trump to Ford.

An ad is campaigning, if it is a campaign ad.

That one campaign ad was not the totality of Reagan’s campaigning for Ford. Did you see this link posted up-thread? https://youtu.be/zbvIo9Lebrc

Ted Cruz is no Ronald Reagan. Cruz has no integrity.

Thanks Luc. Today I believe I scored a rare win.

....Well, last I checked, Ford never criticized Nancy Reagan’s physical appearance nor did he claim Reagan’s father was involved in the JFK assassination (which would have been remarkable given Ford’s involvement with the Warren Commission). Mind you, Trump made his this allegation against Cruz’s father the day he effectively clinched the Republican nomination. What was the point? Whatever the point, Trump did nothing to earn Cruz’s support.

>>>If I, a very unskilled researcher could find that, why not people who claim to be skilled?<<<

That’s an easy one. They are NOT LOOKING for facts like that; they are more interested in trying to bury honest and decent conservatives.

Laz, uncovering MSM lies is excellent investigative journalism.

Keep up the good work. You're on a roll, don't stop now!

Thanks for that link.

As an aside, this banner in the video caught my eye.

Because DJT used such dirty tricks against Cruz. Like the neighbor shaming Cruz pamphlets in Iowa.

It must burn their butts every night when they try to sleep knowing they’re not really journalists.

Cruz being compared to Reagan is laughable in every way. Reagan knew that he didn’t have the justification to grandstand in 1976 during the convention (even though Ford was a hack, Carter was infinitely worse), while Ted Cruz thinks he can grandstand in 2016 at a time when his total number of supporters could probably fit inside a Pizza Hut dumpster.

Because they know nothing but to lie. Thanks for your unskilled honest research.

Thanks for this. I have a cruzer friend who has a mental block on this issue and brought up the Reagan not endorsing Ford thing like it actually means anything today. I sent this to him so he knows listening to levin might not be the best thing unless one checks his so-called facts.

“So Mark Levin was mistaken or lying?”

Since it’s Mark Levin and the misinformation is designed to protect Cruz..... he’s lying.

He had on a guest on yesterday who dismissed it as a “little seen commercial”.

Denial is great with the mediocre one.

But who are we to believe, Levin or our lying eyes?
