We need to learn from Reagan versus Ford in the 1976 primaries.

The votes had been counted and Ford had won, but Reagan was pressured to make a speech.

By the end of that speech, the entire room knew it had made a mistake by going with Ford.

Lucky for us, Reagan didn't give up.

Our primary system needs a lot of work if we want to make sure Reagans don't get beaten by Fords.

That is a first-class summary. Thank you sir.
