WHY is Watergate considered the standard for all that’s horrible? Watergate is NOTHING compared to the hundreds of crimes committed by Clintons and Obama. I’m so tired of it.

I agree 100% - sick of it.

How many (who care to begin with) were even alive back during the Nixon administration?

“Watergate...was nothing....”

...and it’ll be a cold day in he%% when any one of the subversive punks in the media and government make ANYTHING at all out of all the scandals and wrongdoing in the Clinton and Obama administrations.

(All those communists were right: the United States would be destroyed from within.)

IMHO

In the days of old they would have asked if it was Trump’s WaterLOO which would seem to me to make far more sense. Had Nixon been a democrat the press would be referring to the wonderful days of Watergate as the epitome of good government.

Watergate led to an impeachment. Probably they are talking about the possibility of an impeachment (however improbable)

Are you kiddin'? The left today still recruits off the old Howard Dean/Whitehouse Plumbers storyline. They got to hang Nixon's scalp on their TeePee Lodge Pole. We laid rest to that when we (FR and Buckhead in particular) took Dan Rather out in spectacular fashion.
Cheers!

Excellent point. The rhetorical explanation: Nixon was not a Democrat thug.
