what you heard was true. I followed the house hearings. That’s why he resigned. I know what happened to clinton and that doesn’t change what happened to Nixon. The votes were in place and they gave him an opportunity to leave on his own.
I would like to hear your rendition of these historical facts.
The votes were in place to impeach him - so what? Impeachment doesn’t mean he’s fired. The American people had just reelected him in the biggest landslide in history. The senate can’t undo that - nobody will ever know what would have happened if he had faced the impeachment and hung tough like Clinton did after he got impeached.
Resigning was what sealed his fate - a fate that he did not deserve. It was like pleading guilty to a crime he didn’t commit.
NOT resigning is what allowed Clinton to recover his good reputation - a good reputation that he did not deserve.
Nixon thought his resigning was the best thing for the nation, an extremely honorable sacrifice. But was it really the best thing to let those evil leftists win and let such confusing misinformation be sent down through the ages as ‘history”?
We are still dealing with the same double standard 45 years later as the Democrat politicians routinely commit crimes and are not punished, while the Republicans resign, or are forced to withdraw as candidates, or in some cases serve time in jail - when they did nothing wrong! They simply get hounded out of office.
I don’t blame Nixon for not being as clever as Reagan or as tough as Trump, but I wish he had been.
If Trump can finally break the magic spell the leftists have over the bedazzled media and over all the innocent but gullible people in TV land, he will go down as the greatest president since George Washington.
If Nixon had Trump’s (or Reagan’s) ability to make his enemies look like fools, think of where we might be by now - maybe we wouldn’t have gone so far down the socialist rabbit hole. Maybe the word “Watergate” would be as meaningless as (yawn) “Iran contra”.
