and he was kinda an outsider.
He wasn't. He was the governor of California when he ran. And even then, he already took a bullet and went on "with the program". The only reason people remember him fondly is because of tax cuts, jokes and that he was a Republican. Everything else pointed to him being a globalist pawn.
Trump is the only true outsider we've had since President Eisenhower. As matter of fact he is the first President that wasn't a politician or a general.
He was not Governor when he ran. Reagan was Governor from 1966 to 1970. He did not run for re-election.
Reagan ran in the Republican Primaries for 1976 but lost to incumbent Gerald Ford. He won the nomination in 1980 and then beat Carter to become President. Many think John Andersen, after losing the Republican Primary to Reagan, ran as a splitter candidate. Dirty tricks even then, but to no avail.
Jerry Brown was Governor of California from 1975 to 1983 for Reagans first two bids and the forgettable George Deukmejian was Governor for his third run.
I remember this stuff but its pretty easy to look it up too ;).
Interesting, I always assumed he went from Governor to President.
I remember him being the last Republican governor of Cali. I assumed this was early 1980's. The fact that he vacated the office in 1970 makes it even worse. They haven't had a Republican Governor for over 54 years. That's nuts
