Reagan developed Alzheimers fairly soon after he left office. What if it had onset sooner, around the start of his second term in office? How would the US deal with a president with Alzheimers? Would he be forced to resign?

It would probably be kept a very well-guarded secret. If it got to be too obvious, Reagan would step down in favor of Bush, probably halfway through his second term. The Republican Party would still be playing his epic last speech (you just know it would be) at every event they can.
Dukakis gets blown out of the water, rather than decisively beaten, thanks to the sympathy vote.

Well if say Ronald Reagan final speech would what would have accidently expose him as having serious issues over his Alzheimer I doubt they would show it around
You know what I mean. Presumably, if it was leaked that he had been diagnosed with it, he would step down, announcing it in his final speech to the American people, along with a "I leave it to you, the American people, to continue our national dream" etc.
It would be good, I bet.
Yea, let's say its best case scenario vs worst case scenario in the matter "it become public"
