“wow 50 years. I doubt we will ever see a landslide like that again.”
Actually we will if the rats keep both houses in 2 weeks. HR1 will get through and that kind of landslide will happen in 24.
McGovern didn't carry his native state of South Dakota (although his margin of defeat there was less than in most of the other states).
Nixon’s great “crime” was beating McGovern in a nationwide landslide. No one in the media voted for Nixon or knew anyone who did, so clearly he had stolen the election and had to be punished.
Trump committed the same crime by beating Hillary when everyone knew that it was “her turn” to be President. No one in the media voted for Trump or knew anyone who did, so clearly he had stolen the election and had to be punished.
Even after 12 more years of mass immigration Reagan had almost the identical result, 49 states, 525 electoral votes, and 58.8% of the vote.
In Nixon’s 1972 run against McGovern, McGovern won 46% of the under-30 vote.
The Watergate takedown of Nixon was one of the dirtiest events in American history.
If Nixon had the conservative media outlets that exist today, he wouldn’t have resigned in 1974.
Also, Trump is “Nixon’s Revenge” on steroids. Watching those old civil rights marchers from the 1960’s “eat a Trump Presidency” in 2024 is going to be.......priceless.
It’ll be revenge for Watergate as well as the Big Steal.
