Gone Fishin'
I am writing up a tl where Ronald Regan runs for governor then becomes president in 1980 does this scenario sound realistic?
 
Ronald Reagan? The actor? Who's Vice President, Jerry Lewis?
Ya. The guy who was co-star to a chimp. Right. Sure, he's going to make it politics. Sheesh.
For Vice President, I nominate the chimp.
(Although Peggy the Chimp doesn't turn 35 until 1981, so his run for President might have to hold off until then.)

WellN it isn't too ridiculous. He was a dedicated Republican, and after speaking at a Goldwater event, there were several who approached him about running against George Christopher for the Republican nomination for Governor.

Please. That's 105 in chimp years.

That would be hilarious.

Reagan's experience as the president of SAG would help him to some degree. But any thoughts of politics had to of been dashed when his modern western series "Cade's County" was to go onto a ten year run on CBS

OTL Cade's County starred Glenn Ford
 
Now, now, Reagan might be a Hollywood star, but it's not like he'd no anything crazy like put laser satellites or whatnot in space. That's something out of Star Trek or Star Wars right there :p
