LIke the last liberal to hold the Presidency; Richard Nixon, Ford was pretty moderate and progressive on many issue; enough that he would never get the Democratic noimination today for being too leftist. If he manages to defeat Carter in 1976; how dose his term come about. How dose he react to Afghanistan, Iran etc. The economy.

With Bob Dole as the VP and heir presumptive, could we see Ronald Reagen stopped in his tracks.

What no interest? I would say that Ford winning could stop the Evangelical wing of the party as exemplified by Ronnie from becoming powerful. The moderate wing of the Republicans dominate.

Fords heirs would be men like Rumsfeld; his chief of Staff and Sec Def.
 
So think Ronald Reagan wins the nomination in 1980 but being from the president's party he loses the general election because of the bad economy and the hostage crisis.
