Heller argues Ford faced tough odds in 76 due to limited impact of a modern president, economic woes, and a Republican split with Reagan. He notes Ford’s incumbency and 25th Amendment entry, plus Ford’s practical credibility as a bipartisan figure who could stay active in politics beyond a possible 1980 run.
