Don’t forget Scoop Jackson (a conservative democrat!) and Ed Muskie.
Muskie ended up crying in the street over some accusations in New Hampshire and went belly up after all the ridicule.
Jeez..Ed said it was a snowflake...But the Nixon boys sure pulled a fast one. Gotta hand it to them...the “rat-F***ing” by Donald Serregetti (sic) and the like was pretty creative. Real dirty tricksters. Seems kinda tame these days. I wonder if Roger Stone was involved in that one. Wasn’t he one of Donald’s crew?
Yes and Scoop Jackson...of course Wilbur Mills only to fall later with his sex scandal... Ah...what a different time.
You know...that was about when the split came along. 1972. Prior to that (post war) Democrats and republicans had the shared experience of fighting in WW2 in some capacity, whether in combat or at a desk...they served. They still loved their country. nowadays....
