Let's not forget Ford's pick for VP once he took office. The Godfather of Republican Liberalism Nelson Rockefeller. Many of the problems today IMO come from having the same ones who messed up back them holding key positions now. They keep making the same mistakes and expecting different results. What's worse as someone pointed out either on this thread or another one there are many congress critters and senators still in office from that era from both parties mainly liberals.

No, the worst thing about all those a-holes is that Nixon's idiocy empowered them. The fools will always be out there. What mattered in '74 is that Nixon handed it over to them. Honestly, there was little Ford could do, especially after doing the right thing in pardoning Nixon.

Meanwhile, Vietnam burned, the US Military was emasculated, and the economy fizzed.

Perhaps what's most amazing is that we came out of it at all.
