Nixon is a truly tragic figure in American history. Very intelligent, but so full of an inferiority complex that his paranoia led to his political demise. Definitely not a Kennedy/Bush silver spoon type, he worked his way up from nothing. His ardent communism led to a Trump level hatred by the leftist press. Got no thanks for ending the Vietnam War, however imperfectly. In no ways an ideal leader or even really conservative in our modern sense, he should have enjoyed a pleasant retirement instead of national disgrace.
“...he worked his way up from nothing....”
And for that, I give him major respect.
Always liked the guy, regardless of what the Leftard assh*les portray him as.
