1976 Republican National Convention

After giving his acceptance speech, Ford asked Reagan to come and say a few words to the convention; Reagan proceeded to give an eloquent address which virtually overshadowed Ford's speech.

Seriously, this again?! Lyn’ Ted is NO Ronald Reagan! Not now, not before, not ever. It is embarrassing to even see the suggestion.

I remember seeing that whole convention on TV. (the conventions were televised all day long then). It was a lot of drama for its day and fascinating to watch. My dad was so upset that Ford was the nominee, he really wanted Reagan. President Reagan was truly a statesman and a class act, something Cruz will never be.
