What is it about putting hyphens in word descriptions of numbers? You don’t need any hyphens to say two and a half miles or two and a half cups, so why do they say two-and-a-half-years? At that I refuse to read further. I don’t care what his opinion of Gerald Ford was.
1976-the country was not ready for Reagan after the previous 8 years. 1980-thank Carter.
Reagan was ineligible to be appointed in ‘74. 2 Californians.
Should Ford have taken himself out? Who else did we have? Dole was the worst thing he had going for him outside the pardon. 20 years later Dole’s the nominee. Go figure.
