For the record, Nixon did suffer from paranoia, it would seem, when he authorized the break-in and bugging at the DNC offices in the Watergate building. But alcoholism? I can assure you that I never heard anything about that during his presidency or since. And the MSM certainly would have played it up if it were true.

Would Americans have given Woodrow Wilson a second term if they had known that he suffered from small strokes before 1916? Or, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, if they knew the degree of his suffering, depression and his cardiovascular condition?
Or Lyndon B. Johnson if we knew in 1964 what Robert Caro has told us since about his crookedness? Or Richard M. Nixon’s descents into alcoholism, paranoia and delusion under pressure?

Buddy of mine (up at AL Post 36) was in the military and assigned duty to kind of stand around in that area (and there are always a lot of military guys doing that sort of thing in and around the White House).
It was his thought on the matter that Nixon and Bebe drank way too much.
