Gerald Ford wins in 1976, what happens next?

The world ends in 1977 :D lol

naw, I'm not sure it would have made a huge difference, though I suppose all of the peace plans that carter went after would have never been done. It also means the Democrats likely win in 1980.
 
I still think Ronald Reagan would try again for the Presidency in 1980 when Ford is a lame duck.

Movement conservatives still preferred Reagan over Vice President Robert Dole.
 
The democrats would have won in 1980 because Ford, like Carter, would not have been able to control inflation.

One big factor is that the Panama canal treaty, pushed by Carter in OTL, would be pushed by Ford. Yes it was a bipartisan effort supported by Ford. As a result, the democrats would not have to bear the "blame" for giving up the canal.
