If President Ford had won in '76...

If Ford had won in 1976, how do you think his presidency would've been?

1) Would Detente have continued, or would the Cold War have reignited anyway?
2) How would Ford have likely dealt with the Iranian Revolution? Would it still have happened if he were President? Would the Hostage Crisis have occurred, and if so, how would Ford have dealt with it?
3) Could you foresee any cabinet shake ups had he won? Would he have dumped Kissinger?
4) What about the economy?
5) Would Ford have been able to end the Israel-Egyptian war?
6)) Would he have governed as a liberal, centrist or as a conservative fiscally?

I think that election was more important in the long run in regards to the rightward swing of our country than most people think....

There would have probably been no President Reagan.

You don't think Reagan would have made a second play for the Presidency in 1980? He was considered a front runner as the next GOP nominee; He had just barely lost to Ford for the nomination. Ford would not have been able to run in 1980 and thus the GOP primaries would've been wide open.
