Ronald Reagan was unsuccessful in his first two attempts to win the Republican nomination for president. Then, in 1980, he became the Republican Party's presidential candidate. His opponent was President Jimmy Carter.
The two men debated on national television. Ronald Reagan spoke directly and simply to the American people and asked them some questions:
"Are you better off than you were four years ago? Is it easier for you to go and buy things in the stores than it was four years ago? Is there more or less unemployment in the country than there was four years ago?"
