Nixon did a lot of bad stuff during his Administration. Took the US off the gold standard and made the dollar a fiat currency, opened up the PRC, wage and price controls. Surrendered to Vietnam.
Watergate isn’t even in the top 20 of the bad stuff he did. Campaign dirty trick? That’s just par for the course with all campaigns. The only problem there is that he got caught and covered it up rather than immediately disavow and employ plausible deniability.
Nixon stood by his people on Watergate and he paid a price for it.
I think Nixon and or his people bad stuff aside from Watergate.
They used a modified, limited hang out.
If Watergate happened today, Nixon won't get impeached. We have alternative media today. Social media. Tucker Carlson on Fox News. MSM could attempt to control the narrative but Nixon will have defenders.
