Gerald Ford did what he could. He was a classy man and a patriot.

RWR saved the world.

From 1974-79, during those Ford-Carter years,...





Better to have the Carter years stand disastrously on their own.

I think Gerald Ford may have saved the Presidency but I know that Ronald Reagan saved the world.

I remember the talk of the Dream Ticket: Reagan supposedly wanted Ford for his VP. (Probably the earliest "trial balloon" that I can recall, years before I ever heard the expression.)

In the harsh light of history Gerald Ford will be seen as a man who kind of fell into the Presidency. He then got whupped by a dhimmiecrat who was one of the most disastrous occupants of the Oval Office ever (right up there with BJ).

IMHO, Mr. Ford was a country club pubbie and is not fit to polish Ronaldus Magnus's wings in Heaven.

Disgruntled with Ford’s pursuit of détente with the Soviets, Ronald Reagan in 1975 decided to seek the seemingly impossible: to challenge the incumbent president from his own party, thereby breaking Reagan’s own “Eleventh Commandment:” “Thou Shall Not Speak Ill of Another Republican.”

The truth will set you free. Stop the historic revisionism.
