AUGUST 11TH, 1975: VICE PRESIDENT ROMNEY SAYS HE WON'T SEEK THE REPUBLICAN NOMINATION FOR 1976!
To be continued.
President Reagan is a man of many things. Formerly a radio announcer, an actor, a Governor, and now President, Reagan’s life and career has been a storied one. Despite relative inexperience on the national level, he shocked the nation by winning the contentious 1968 Republican primaries, and then beating Vice President Hubert Humphrey in the general election.

Noted for his general liberalism through his voting record, Church brought a populist tinge to his presidential run this year, and it worked. After securing the nomination at a chaotic DNC, beating the likes of Scoop Jackson, Ted Kennedy, and George Wallace (the latter being assassinated), the party has shakily united behind him in hopes to win back the White House.
Despite this, the unity seems to be an illusion. The party is still fractured after two chaotic conventions back-to-back, especially in regards to the Southern wing. Church will have a tough road ahead of him, but if successful, his comeback will be as great or even greater than Truman’s in 1948.

With decent Republican midterm performances in 1970, and Reagan’s popularity high and growing by the day, it is expected that he will win. Seeing success in the foreign field while a keeping relative status quo domestically (minus some cuts to Great Society programs), this has only served to cement this belief.
However, the man is not without his faults. Anti-war protests continue to mount and the deadly Kent State shooting put the unpopularity of the Vietnam War on full display. Not only that, but his limited government-conservative ideals have led to agitation with some. For example, his veto of the EPA was deeply unpopular and he has yet to come out in support of—or opposition to—the Equal Rights Amendment. But, to sum it up, he is still expected to win.
