That went well......Man, how we suffered during the carter years.
Remember waiting in line for gas? No Christmas lights and that stupid sweater speach? Billy beer? The hunting trip (that was great)!
Today it's lies. They lie about the price of groceries. I hear from people shopping all the time how bad it is. Eggs $8 a dozen. The lies, the economy. Lying about covid.
If biden wins again it'll be worse than now.
Reagan was probably never going to beat the incumbent President Ford, regardless of who he picked for VP. The primaries were over and the projected delegate count had Ford winning. Well over half the uncommitted delegates were in NY, NJ and PA. Reagan thought Schweiker would secure PA, and possibly bring NY or NJ. Picking a conservative from any of those states would only have secured 1 state, and no other delegates he didn't win anyway.
In the end, I suspect his loss was a blessing. Reagan quite possibly would have lost to Carter, and we might never have had his 2 terms as POTUS.
