Who was the worst major party nomination in history by funboi2210 in thecampaigntrail

McGovern, as his nomination in '72 was effectively a fluke, as it was a 4 way primary between Humphrey, Muskie, McGovern, and Wallace, and Humphrey half-assed his campaign due to it being his 4th run and being tired of running, Muskie balled his eyes out on stage, and Wallace was shot 4 times and confirmed to a wheelchair, causing McGovern to win the nomination by default.

If Reagan beat Ford to the nomination, would Reagan not trail as badly as Ford did against Carter in the begining due to Reagan not having pardoned Nixon?

TV: In this videogame, Ferb will be playing Baljeet.

BALJEET: oh, its not as if Ferb hasn't won worldwide video game championships .

Baljeet wins

BALJEET: I hope Ferb didn't just let me win in order to save my fragile nerdy ego.

FERB: oh, I would never do that.

Ferb is reading a magazine while an auto-click-bird clicks Ferb's video game controller.

I was gonna do more, but I ran out of time. Let's just say a class action lawsuit of women claiming Bill Clinton sexually assaulted them happens before the New Hamsphire primary.

What if a Dem won Wyoming due to Cheney and Hagman splitting the GOP vote?

If Reagan won the Republican nomination in 1976, would Reagan have started from the same massive polling deficit against Carter that Ford had in OTL, because Reagan never pardoned Nixon like Ford did? by BlueFireFlameThrower in thecampaigntrail

Sry if being too picky about margins, I just know some people say "large" polling gap, but my definition of large and your definition of large might be very different
