The GOP elites and middle roaders insisted that Reagan could not win in 1980.
Former President Gerald Ford was among Reagan's harshest critics:
It would be an impossible situation," Ford said of a Reagan nomination. He said the former California governor is "perceived as a most conservative Republican. A most conservative Republican an't win in a national election."Sounds a lot like today's GOPer elites as they attempt to dismiss and revile conservatives like Ted Cruz.
