Is it possible that Reagan could have won the nomination in 1976 and Carter have beaten him by a larger margin than he did Ford in OTL.
I kind of think it would have been possible to portray him as the second coming of Goldwater, In OTL in 1980 he promoted 'states Rights' in Philadqphia MIS sight of one of the more notorious racist terrorist acts by people favouring that view.
If Reagan had lost by between 6 and 20 points would that have made him un nominatable in 1980, even assuming Carter has as much trouble as he did in otl
