It’s become almost cliché in American politics to call a politician Nixonian or “like Nixon” -- and it’s rarely a positive to compare an officeholder or candidate to the only U.S. president to resign from office.
Yet to Evan Thomas, the author of a new Nixon biography who also covered the Clinton White House, comparing Hillary Clinton to Nixon works -- to an extent.
“Mrs. Clinton does have some Nixonian attributes. She can be guarded and defensive, a little bit too tough on her enemies,” Thomas said in ABC News' “Power Players” series. “I saw this firsthand. She needs to watch that.”

When the initial Chinese delegates came to Washington D.C. to visit, my N.P.S. sister escorted them around. They were interested to known the whereabouts of Watergate. Now the Chinese know every U.S. government employee who lives there.
Nixon was not a bad man. For example, he did not get rich in office.
He suffered the biggest liberal media attack ever and was run out of office over something the democrat presidents laugh about.
Hillary is a criminal. Nixon was not a criminal.
I agree with you. Nixon was a patriot. The Marxist takeover that we are seeing today, he saw coming and tried to stop. paranoia is when you imagine a threat that is not happening. Nixon was not paranoid, he was right about the threat.
Agreed, she really IS a crook! ;)
Well stated.
Yes. I liked Nixon, in spite of his obvious faults. He was at least, for America.
Have to add: Pat Nixon stuck by him, and I always thought that was admirable.
Nixon loved America. Hillary loves Power.
Richard Nixon was no traitor and did not leave over 40 men to die in a Libyan desert.
LOL! Perfect.
Worse. Don’t give Nixon a bad name.
I agree. He was the victim of a liberal MSM that found its power in the midst of an unpopular war.
If you want to talk about bad men, look at Lyndon Baines Johnson, Bill Clinton or Barack Obama....
None of these would have resigned under similar circumstances. In fact, even under much worse circumstances.
Even better is to use that “I’m not a crook” caption with that disgustion hag photo of her winking.
Don’t give Nixon a bad name.
...he gave himself a bad enough name... as a Rockefeller Pub, he stoked big Govt and had few hard to find conservative strands. The Commies still hated him for outing Hiss and did everything possible for payback...
ymmv
Yes I know he is dead
People forget:
