Factually incorrect.
What got us Jimmy Carter was Ford's pardon of Nixon not the fact that he won these two primaries.
“What got us Jimmy Carter was Ford’s pardon of Nixon not the fact that he won these two primaries.”
You got a point. But Reagan almost took that nomination in ‘76. And if Ford could manage to fall just short of defeating Carter, you got believe the Gipper would have beat Carter.
But what’s done is done. We got Regan 4 years later to clean up Carters mess.
(BTW: I was only 5 in 1976, but I remember that election. And I’ve read enough about since then)
