SC Republicans want you to vote for Bernie

[Qutzupalotl]

Conservative upstate Republicans in South Carolina will press GOP voters to vote in the primary for Democratic hopeful Bernie Sanders in an effort to support the candidate they think has the weakest general election prospects opposite President Trump.
....

The South Carolina GOP voted to eliminate this year's presidential primary, making the Democratic election on Feb. 29 the state's sole primary event.
....

Greenville GOP chairman Nate Leupp told the Post and Courier that Sanders "is the most socialistic, liberal candidate running" in the Democratic primaries.

5. I think it might be Ronald Reagan.

He lost the GOP Presidential to appointed (but not elected) President Gerald Ford in 1976, but then won the nomination and the Presidency in 1980. However, you have to keep in mind that the economy was in a bad recession at the time, and gasoline prices were quite high.
