Watergate is definitely worth studying. Richard Nixon was not 1/10 as crooked as the Clintons. But the efforts by the media and the Left to drive him from office kept up day after day, live on TV every afternoon, until he relented.

But when you’re a Democrat, it’s just different. The same people who howled in anger over Nixon can be counted on to circle the wagons around them.

Yes, he did engage in impeachable abuses of power. What he was mainly was paranoid and stupid. He would have wiped McGovern off the map without that second-rate burglary. Maybe saved us from the Carter presidency in the bargain.

Watergate is definitely worth studying.

From break-in to resignation, "Watergate" took just under 26 months.

It has been 18 years since the White Water investigation.

Nixon didn’t do anything but cover up for his idiot staff. He was on his way to a landslide victory. There was no NEED to learn the Democrats playbook. None.
