The real American tragedy is that the whole Watergate thing was totally unnecessary. Nixon won 49 states in the 1972 election. The purpose of the Watergate break-in was to steal George McGovern's campaign secrets. If the break-in had not happened, Nixon would have won 49 states. Not because Nixon was the 2nd coming of George Washington, but because George McGovern was a left-wing lunatic fringe moonbat. And the Democrats were in total chaos, which is how McGovern ended up with the dem nomination in the first place.

Added to that was Thomas Eagleton, who dropped out after it was revealed that he had spent time in various hospitals and received shock therapy. Of course, his withdrawal from the ticket denied the American voter the only opportunity they ever had to vote for a politician who had a doctor's note saying he was sane when he left the hospital.

And Watergate led to the Nixon resignation, the withdrawal from Vietnam, the murder of millions of people in Southeast Asia by the Communists, Jimmy Carter, stagflation, and so on. I would blame Watergate for Disco and Polyester, but that would be a stretch.
