I saw a couple threads on this but they were rather old and I wanted some new perspectives, and yes, I did read Icarus Falls.
First off, how likely is it for Reagan to win in '68? He was always an excellent debater and very charismatic, but is it enough to fend off Nixon considering his lack of experience. Who does he choose as his running mate, and if he wins, what does a Reagan administration look like in 1968, does he win a second term etc.
What kind of domestic policies would he have, how does he act on civil rights, NASA, the energy crisis, the environment etc. What would change culturally with him in office, with no Watergate and his charisma does the public never lose it's trust in government, how would positivity in the '70s change things.
What does his foreign policy look like, without Nixon does rapprochement with China happen, does detente break down, what would happen with the SALT treaties etc. What does he do during the Yom Kippur War and Vietnam, how does defense procurements and policy change etc. Any additional contributions or ideas are welcome.
