Nixon in ‘68 is more apropos.
Nah, Nixon was elected in ‘68, not re-elected in ‘68. That makes it a quite different situation.
If all the chaos of 68 were happening and Nixon had already been President, then it would have been incumbent on him to do something about it, rather than just talk a good game on the campaign trail. That’s the situation that Trump finds himself in.
Nixon 72 more appropriate. 68 was close due to third party of Wallace lemay
