Nixon belongs in the top four. Forget about Watergate. It doesn’t matter. What matters is the Gold Standard, China, EPA, Congressional Budget Act of 1974, Hospitals for Profit and other things that still haunt us.

I tend to agree. What Pubs sell out is much harder to reverse, and confirms whatever the Dems have doe that is lesser to that point.

Can you expand upon hospitals for profit? Nixon’s presidency was quite a ways before I was born…I’ve been to his presidential library a few times and that was never mentioned.

China was a blunder of epic scale. Of course, Nixon elevated China out of weakness, but it led to the deindustrialization of the US. We never should have normalized relations with Communist China while they were practicing communism.

Nixon didn't give conservatives much to cheer about. The worst thing he did was to impose the 55-mph speed limit that even Reagan couldn't get rid of. It took a liberal Democrat, Bill Clinton, to accomplish that.

Nonetheless, Nixon nailed Alger Hiss and saved Israel, for which we should be eternally grateful.
