The last weekend of the campaign in 84, Reagan was flying east coast to west and wanted to make a quick stop in Minnesota but his staff said it would make no difference. Minnesota returns were actually close and it’s possible that last stop could have made it a 50 state landslide.
A favorite little memory, Reagan did a train tour and was on a microphone reading from all his supporter’s signs as the train inched through a town.
One sign said “Mondale’s The One”. Reagan read it same as the rest, then realized and added “Like hell he is!”
