Nixon couldn’t get 50,000 new donors within 72 hours.

The lame stream media are dreaming of the good old days when they controlled the narrative. A pox on them all.

Already the polls are showing a shift in favor of impeachment.

Of course they are. The polltakers insist on it. Pollsters == Big Media == Propaganda Arm of the Democrat Party.

“Watergate was every bit the crock of shit that we’ve got going on now. Republican pussies caved...like they seem to be doing now.”

Am I the only one on the planet who believes that the Congress should have been pinning medals on Nixon and his entire administration for stopping a known-communist from getting elected instead of impeaching Nixon?

“It doesn’t matter. It’s about public perception. The left controls the media.

Already the polls are showing a shift in favor of impeachment”

And Hildabeast is President, all the Polls said so.

Well I don’t think Trump has a taping system. I am not sure if Nixon would have been brought down without the infamous audio tapes. Audio and video are powerful.

The video of Biden is a good start. We need more tapes of their crimes.

There wasn’t talk radio and Tucker Carlson on Tv In 74. The mainstream media doesn’t have a monopoly on the messaging this time, so it won’t be nearly as easy to demoralize Trumps base as it was with Nixon’s

There was NOT ONE slightly conservative news outlet in the 70’s it was ONLY the MSM!!! We are in much better shape now, we are able to get our message out now MSM is DEAD now nobody watches them anymore ONLY the hardcore Dems their ratings are in the toilet I NO LONGER feel they are even reaching enough viewers to make a difference any longer!!! The 2016 election is proof of that!!! We would NEVER have lost the 2018 mid terms if OUR SIDE had backed up Trump in any way,AND if Trump had been on the ticket!!! To be very honest with you OUR SIDE deserved to lose the house as bad as ALL of this has been we DESERVED to lose, we got rid of a lot of the RINOS and in 2020 Trump will get the house back hopefully with some actual conservatives to back Trump!!! I want the Dems SCREAMING and CRYING uncontrollably I want them on Valium for 4 years!!!

In terms of being informed, the public of 1974 were simpletons compared to the public of 2019.

1. That’s for an inquiry. 2. National poll, not a swing state poll. 3. Impeachment very unpopular in swing districts.
