That’s the spirit! Newt remembers Reagan in ‘76. Loss after loss, then he gained steam in NC. Newt has steam already, in SC. Long way to go.
I think Newt’s going do great in Florida.
Take it to the convention if you have to!!
If Reagan had stood true in 76 as he did in 80 he would have won then.
One of his great political lessons was the mistake he made yeilding to establishment and press excoriation over being too radical and then announcing he would pick the commie Richard Schultz Schweiker of PA, a man not unlike GHW Bush or Romney today.
At the time not all delegates to the convention were sent by popular vote and the Republican delegation of Mississippi to switch to Ford and hand him the nomination.
Reagan never made that mistake again.
