And the greatest feat the Democrats and their media lackeys did was to paint Nixon as the “Vietnam President” instead of LBJ.
I thought the only positive thing many felt about Nixon was that he ended it.
Unfortunately, he was president during our lowest point in terms of morale over there; during the early 1970s, drug abuse had increased as many drafted troops saw the futility of the war (in terms of the ongoing peace talks), and much of the professional army of the mid-1960s had left the theater.
Well, the “mainstream” media, anyways. The Democrats if anything were more afraid of their “media lackeys” than they were actually allied (especially when LBJ said regarding Cronkite’s infamous Tet broadcast “that’s it! if I’ve lost Cronkite, I’ve lost middle America!” Not to mention constantly watching the news channels in his office, three TV sets, each dedicated to the primary news channels, fretting over their reporting of the war and how it would impact his poll numbers.). That’s why I often think that LBJ may have predated Nixon as the first victim of the deep state.
