Reagan would’ve won anyway. The Iranian hostage crisis and the fucked up Operation Eagle Claw debacle ruined any chance he had. Ted Kennedy’s primary challenge was just a pickle in the shit sandwich.

Imagine if the mission to kill Bin Laden had not only failed due to a debatable abort decision but that in the resulting exfiltration eight special forces operators had been killed in an accidental two aircraft collision. Romney probably would’ve won in 2012 had that happened.
