There are alot of good arguments to be made for that. Gotta say, the country’s a better place if the Fordites win out in the GOP. The funny thing though is Ford actually was from a pretty modest background. Granted Reagan was too but Reagan’s political rise was through him chumming up to corporations. Ford was a young WWII vet who felt that the old way (the isolationist wing of the GOP) was wrong and rose through the post war GOP ranks that way.

Nixon was also from a very modest background.

Grew up in Whittier, two of his brothers died when he was young (tuberculosis), he had to turn down a full tuition scholarship to Harvard because it didn’t include cross-country train fare, or room and board, or another employee for his family’s grocery store because he wouldn’t have been there to do shifts.
