Sorry, RDS flamed out, showed he's a bad national candidate, can't connect with the conservative base, or even the RINO base. He had all the advantages of his reputation when he started the campaign, yet dropped in the polls every week until he had to pull out of the race. He wasted a lot of time, money, and good will.
It's clear there was no way he was going to beat even the unpopular FJ Biden.
There is nothing in what he did that shows he can run a successful campaign again.
“There is nothing in what he did that shows he can run a successful campaign again.”
The GOP establishment must have said the same thing when Reagan lost in the primary against the incumbent Ford.
The silk-stocking Republicans never forgave Reagan.
