Nixon only lost one state. He was very important. America did not want to be at war. America did not want Johnson. Nixon was the first real republican in a long while. And republicans meant people who had morals. That is why they could attack him by showing he was a crook. When you elect Mr. Clean all you need to do is to show a little dirt and he falls. That is why Trump did so well. Nobody expected he was clean. So he could weather any dirt.
“So he could weather any dirt.”
They couldn’t find any dirt, so he must be clean and everybody’s (democrats) expectations were wrong.
