Reagan gave Ford all the competition he could take in the race for the 1976 GOP nomination. And if there’d been a few more Reagan votes in convention, we wouldn’t have had to suffer under the whip and lash of Jimmuh Carter. But that’s the realm of alternate historians. Reagan was fondly remembered by millions for his principled stands as California’s governor. So, yeah, we knew about Reagan.
