So you're calling all those good Americans who continued to support Ronald Reagan after he lost the nomination to Gerald Ford in '76 'stupid'?

That election was between Carter and Ford.

Supporting non-nominees is equivalent to throwing your vote into the trash.

Yep, pretty stupid.

In case senility has crept in, need I remind you that Ronald Reagan might NOT have been able to mount another presidential campaign in 1980 had the millions of Americans who supported him in '76 had slinked off, content to wait for whatever RINO the Republican Party might foist on them in 1980?
