As I posted, they went after Mr. Nixon, FULL BORE, from the time he beat Helen Gahagan Douglas, for the Senate seat from California. He stood up to them, he fought back, but after 20+ plus years, they did finally get him.
They ramped it up re Palin and are still after her and her family, which is nuts!
It's early days and I hope and pray that Trump succeeds, but only time will tell.
To say Nixon was as much a fighter as Trump is a hard case to make.
