Will history repeat itself? Nixon carried “ALL” states but Massachusetts

[Signalman]

If Bolshevik Bernie is the nominee, I doubt if Trump will repeat Nixon’s 49 state romp but 40 states may be in reach.

I wasn’t alive back then. What was the election like? Did most people tune out after McGovern got the nomination, other than when Eagleton got kicked off?

1972 was the first time I was eligible to vote at 21 years old.

I voted Nixon.

There is a caveat with this particular election. The GOP lost a net of 2 seats in the Senate; an amazing 10 seats flipped parties, with the ‘Rats scoring 6 and the GOP 4. The same class of Senate seats is up in this cycle.

Plugz Biden ran to the right of his elderly incumbent opponent, J. Caleb Boggs, and won by less than 3,200 votes out of 220,000 cast.

The GOP only netted an 11 seat gain in the House.

If we lost just two seats in the Senate, we would still have a 51-49 majority.

Yep and in less than two years he’s forced to resign

Funny how that works

GOPe and Dems doing reach arounds across the aisle

Sound familiar

>>taking 97 percent of the electoral votes.

remember when we were warned not to try to impeach Obama because he’d been popularly elected?

remember when we were warned there would be backlash that would impact “the party candidates” (president and congressional) in the “next” election?

don’t listen to political “advice” from democrats.
