Everything about 1980 Republican National Convention totally explained
The
1980 National Convention of the
Republican Party of the
United States convened at
Joe Louis Arena in
Detroit, Michigan, from
July 14 to
July 17,
1980. The 32nd
Republican National Convention nominated former Governor
Ronald W. Reagan of
California for
President of the United States and former congressman
George H. W. Bush of
Texas for
Vice President. Reagan, running on the theme "Make America Great Again," stayed in Detroit
Renaissance Center, at the time the world's tallest hotel, and delivered his acceptance speech at
Joe Louis Arena.
During the convention, the possibility of choosing former president
Gerald Ford as the vice-presidential nominee was given at least some consideration. Ford asked for certain powers and prerogatives that has been described as making Ford a co-president. This included the return of
Henry Kissinger as
Secretary of State and the appointment of
Alan Greenspan as
Secretary of the Treasury. The two sides couldn't agree and ultimately, George Bush was chosen less than 24 hours before the ticket was announced.
