Good point.

Ronald Reagan lost the Iowa Caucus in 1980, and we all know how that turned out.....40 state win in the general election after winning the nomination.

Ronald Reagan lost the Iowa Caucus in 1980, and we all know how that turned out.....40 state win in the general election after winning the nomination.

After the loss he fired his campaign manager, John Sears. He certainly didn't want to lose Iowa, and things looked dicey until he made a Polish/Italian joke and "Paid for the microphone". He outmaneuvered the 1980 version of the GOP-E.
