What was the basic issue of the 1976 presidential election?

Answer 1

Democrat Mondale tried without much success to discredit Reagan's record. He proposed higher taxes on the wealthy, higher corporate taxes and criticized Reagan's deficit. Reagan said no tax increases. Mondale also proposed protective tariffs and scoffed at Star Wars. He tried to make Regan look senile at the debates, but was not very successful. His vice-presidential candidate had to defend charges that she had not disclosed her husband's financial dealings.

Answer 2

Vietnam continued to be the burning issue. Nearly four years had passed since Nixon had promised, as a presidential candidate, to end the war and "win" the peace. Yet in the spring of 1972, the fighting escalated anew to alarming levels when the north Vietnamese, heavily equipped with foreign tanks, burst through the demilitarized zone(DMZ) separating the two Vietnams. The contiuing Vietnam conflict spurred the ride of South Dakota senator George McGovern to the 1972 democratic nomination. Mc govern's promise to pull the remaining American troops out of Vietnam in ninety days earned him the backing of the large anti war element in the party. But his appeal to racial minorities, feminists, leftists, and youth alienated the traditional working class backbone of his party.
