And we would have had George McGovern as President, thanks to nit-pickers like you. Nixon assumed the presidency during a major war on the other side of the world (ask me how I know about that), huge and deadly multi-city race riots, a full-on Cold War with a daily threat of thermonuclear annihilation, the Arab Oil Embargo, a massively expensive "Space Race", the Arab-Israeli hot war, and Leftist/Democrat relentless subversion and demonstrations.
He dealt with all that and began the process of restabilizing the world.
Either you didn't live during that period, or you wore blinders back then.
He was ALWAYS going to beat MCGovern. McGovern was a terrible Canidate. Noting he was going to win big I would have voted for Shmidtz. I don’t vote for Liberals.
