For those much younger than a lot of us, let me educate you.

Yes, Reagan lost MN running for his second term.

However, this was the only state Reagan lost.

A 49 state to 1 (MN) landslide by Reagan.
The type of landslide this country may never see again.

People forget that Nixon won 49 states too. Nixon won the election in a landslide. Overall, he won 60.7% of the popular vote, a percentage only slightly lower than Lyndon B. Johnson’s in 1964, but with a larger margin of victory in the popular vote (23.2%), thus becoming the fourth largest in presidential election history. He received almost 18 million more popular votes than McGovern, the widest margin of any United States presidential election. McGovern only won the electoral votes in Massachusetts and the District of Columbia. No candidate since has managed to equal or surpass Nixon’s total percentage or margin of the popular vote, and his electoral vote total and percentage, which rank sixth, have been surpassed only once, and his state total matched only once, by Ronald Reagan in 1984 https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_presidential_election,_1972
