May 25, 1976
Current President Gerald Ford, today, defeated Actor Ron Reagan in three Republican Presidential primaries - almost ensuring the Republican nomination. Reagan, while unwilling to concede, expressed disappointment in the constituents of the three states in which he lost. Ford expressed gratitude, "Let's keep the White House, Red."
Democrats quickly came out expressing horror at the "...Red" statement citing the "Red Scare" and communism. When asked, Reagan just said that he thinks the "Red Scare" is gone but that the Berlin wall stands as a horrific reminder of Communism in Europe. Reagan just wants Germany to take down the wall brick-by-brick.
