Presidential Election of 1980 (Early APRP)

== The Election of 1980 ==
The election of 1980 was a mostly laid back race with there being only a single presidential debate, between Republican Candidate and Former Governor of California, Ronald W. Reagan and the Vice-President to incumbent Democrat President Jimmy Carter, Herr Monkey. It lasted roughly an hour with both Reagan and Monkey overall agreeing on what to do to revive the American economy which hasn't dropped as bad since the Great Depression and how to handle the Cold War and the militarized militias across the United States. A third party candidate, running under the American Union of Fascists named Adam Hilt won only two states, Arkansas and Michigan and only by very slight margins. Jimmy Carter failed to win any states, the rest were won by Ronald Reagan, a historic landslide in American politics and presidential elections.
Reagan ran on the promises of creating a booming economy, fixing the mass inflation, ending the oil crisis, being tough on communism and the Soviet Union, Strengthening the military, a much more. Carter did not make any campaign promises however, Hilt ran on the promise of bringing fascism to the United States and creating a North American Empire by invading neighboring countries.
