“Nixon shouldn’t have resigned. Democrats controlled the House, so he certainly would have been impeached, but they only had 54 senators. 13 Republican senators would have necessary to convict. Nixon was no worse than the usual inhabitants of the White House.”
A bunch of those Republican Senators would’ve thrown Nixon to the wolves.
Goldwater and some others informed Nixon of the this and he resigned the Presidency shortly after.
If a conservative media had existed in those days, Nixon would’ve survived easily, but he did’t have a Rush or a Carlson in 1974.
Watergate was a short lived victory for the democrats.
Seven years later.....President Reagan was in the White House.
