1968 would be when Ronald Reagan beat Nixon in the primaries in the popular vote but the establishment gave the nomination to Nixon.

Reagan was the right man at the right time.

Hmm. I was thinking more of the communist riots in Chicago.

There were only 13 primaries in 1968. Nixon won delegates in the state conventions.

I think you are referring to 1976. Reagan vs Ford.

No, did Reagan win any 1968 primary, not to my knowledge? I think he did pretty well in NE, but he was not an “official” candidate until the Monday of the convention in Miami Beach.
