Reagan was more hawkish than Nixon, so I think that Reagan would not have won all of Nixon's OTL votes. I also think that if you wanted to make a deal with Wallace you would offer him the Attorney General's job.
Humphrey struggled to make up any ground against the popular populist Reagan and as November 5th approached Reagan held an enormous lead. At the urging of his party Humphrey engaged in a desperate campaign to overturn Reagan for the final week. Humphrey claimed that Reagan was a "closet fascist" and called upon former-president Eisenhower to condemn the man or risk America becoming "everything you spent a half a decade and 10's of thousands of men fighting against. He called Reagan a traitor to the American dream, a corporate pawn, and a threat to everything that was American. While this tirade succeeded at motivating his base, it pushed away many independents and moderates who remained in the party. When the election day finally came it was clear Reagan would be victorious and indeed he was, topping Lydon Johnson's massive landslide 4 years earlier. Reagan won 63% of the vote and every state except Minnesota, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and DC leaving the electoral college at 510-28 in favor of Reagan. Reagan had a mandate to rule, that was for sure, the only question now was what he and his Vice-President James Rhodes would do with it.
Reagan a statist and corporatist? We're talking about Ronald Reagan, not Ted Heath here.
