205. What does Reagan have to do with the fact that a northeastern
Democrat hasn't won the White House since 1960 and the Democrats need to be competitive in the south and southwest to win a presidential election?

Also, Reagan almost knocked off a sitting president in 1976... He came into the Republican convention that year within striking distance in the delegate count of Gerald Ford...

And he was the former governor of the most populous state in the union to boot...

I am really getting frustrated by our inabilty to win national elections... If we were a basketball team we would be the hapless Los Angeles Clippers...
