#GeraldFord ‘s pardon of #RichardNixon is not a precedent that Americans should pay heed to.

First, it was morally wrong.

Second, he was never elected #POTUS.

When he ran as a Presidential candidate, American 🇺🇸 voters chose a peanut farmer from Georgia over someone who was a ‘fixer’ for a crook. 🤷🏻‍♂️ And it wasn’t even close!

Gerald Ford? Douglas Brinkley is resurrecting #GeraldFord to blame him for the current situation?!

18/23 #GeraldFord assumed the presidency but couldn't win in 1976 against #JimmyCarter, a southerner (Georgia) but a progressive Democrat, the last ditch for a southern-based Democrat Party.

Reagan had lost the Republican presidential nomination to Nixon in '68, AND to Ford in '76.

Another 2x loser like Nixon, he also needed an angle to his 1980 campaign.

Why not run Nixon's playbook?

He launched, not in Cali, but in Texas (the south), with "We can make America great again!"

Yeah.
