Gerald Ford is and was the Republican Jimmy Carter. No difference on abortion and social issues; ditzy leftwing wives; lack of guts in foreign policy; Panama Canal giveaway; The actual Carter, as a Demonrat, had an excuse. What was Ford's excuse for sucking up to Demonratic Speaker after Demonratic Speaker, begging pretty please for golf dates? He started his Congressional career as an "internationalist" Republican (UN suckup against American sovereignty) using Eastern Establishment money to defeat an incumbent pro-American Republican Congressman.

No argument there. Just saying history will remember his presidency for healing the nation after the wounds of Vietnam and Watergate.

Something I have always wondered was how Ford got to be on the Warren Commission AND be picked by Nixon to be his Veep when Spiro Agnew resigned.
