1976 Election ("What if"-scenario)

But you will agree that Reagan would have lost in 1980 if he had won in 1976?

He would have lost.
Economics was never his strong point and the late '70's saw a World Recession.

[Filuwaúrdjan]

The World Recession began in the late 70's and ended in the early 90's.
There were blips of growth from various countries, but they all flicked back to recession.

I'm glad that Carter won in 1976 for one very good reason: Camp David.
