“Often times we can look at where we are politically in this country and, if we look back, we can see the seeds that we’re planted that got us here. LANDSLIDE does remarkable job of sharing a very specific point in American electoral political history that laid the foundation for the anti-government, conservative Republican forces at play today. President Gerald Ford could have made a play to show Americans that their government worked for them, but he found himself working against a rising tide of anti-government sentiment in the wake of the Watergate scandal. Ben Bradford and his team do an amazing job of taking us back to that time to show how, in 1976, Ronald Reagan came very close to winning the Republican nomination and wresting it away from a sitting president. How a self-described political outsider, Jimmy Carter, won the White House and how four years later Ronald Reagan continued to build on his anti-government platform to turn Carter into a one term president. this is a must listen for any political junkies out there.”
