1968-Reagan/Rhodes v. Humphrey/Smathers v. Wallace/LeMay

[Lincoln Republican]

I see no reason why Humphrey would not win against Reagan in 1968. 

In 1968, the nation was not ready to embrace Reagan's particular brand of conservatism.

Reagan had only been elected Governor of California in 1966, and the nation would have gone for the much more politically experienced Humphrey for President.

Hubert Horatio Humphrey realizes his lifelong dream of becoming President of the United States.
