:: strategically EXPECTING Trump to resign like Nixon ::

And Trump (may re-election be upon him) will show the world WHY Nixon was wrong to resign instead of fight. The Dhimmicrats have not ^learned^ from history and Trump is teaching the lesson.

1972: Dem House becomes obsessed with Watergate, many legislative projects were set aside in the effort to ruin Nixon (congress isn’t doing what they were elected to do).
1974: Nixon tires of the fight and gives the House its victory under the guise of not dividing the electorate.

2018: House is consumed with investigating Trump. Many legislative projects go unattended. Congress isn’t doing what they were elected to do. Trump says, “Bring IT! I’ll fight and show the electorate what piss-poor congressmen they elected.”

That’s what Nixon should have done.

I’m going to hate it when his term is up.(MRBUH)

Everyone else just seems so squishy by comparison.

The next one is going to have a YUGE pair of shoes to fill.

The other parallel is that Nixon caved on Vietnam and exited instead of continuing the fight while he had NV on the ropes with the bombing campaign.

Trump on the other hand took it to ISIS and didn’t let up when he was told he didn’t understand the situation. He unleashed the troops and said ‘take care of this’ and they did.

I can whole heartedly agree with this assessment.

I still have a coulda, woulda, shoulda wish regarding the whole Watergate mess. Nixon made his bed when he tried to hide his knowing about the break in. When he first learned of it he should have publicly denounced the illegal entry into the office. There was never any evidence that he was involved in the planning stages. He just couldn’t abide having his name dragged through the mud.
