Step 1: You are a political operative working for the Elect Ronald Reagan campaign.
The year is 1980. You are tasked with preparing your presidential candidate for his
debates against sitting president, Jimmy Carter.
Compose a memo to your presidential candidate, Ronald Reagan. Based on your study
of the conflicts and crises of the mid-late 1970s, what issues do you recommend as the
focus of the campaign? In the memo, provide a characterization of your campaign
opponent: President Jimmy Carter. Select 2 hot button issues and advise Ronald
Reagan on a way to approach these issues on the campaign trail and in the upcoming
debates. (Your memo must be at least 15 complete sentences.)
