Several of the men in his administration spent time in prison...could he have kept them from paying that price?

His whole demeanor during that time did not help him. He had no stature of a strong person.

I voted for him but he was a huge let down after Eisenhour. The day John Dean testified, he threw Nixon under the bus. That one man was a rat... you dont serve and then use the man to further your career that way.

I didnt like Nixon ..Dean the rat I Really didnt like.

Nixon’s personality was unlikeable. Period.

Just curious when you wanted Nixon out.

When I became aware that he lied to me. I took it personally. All he had to do was tell the truth. "I did not know of the Watergate break-in until it had been done. I did not authorize it." Instead, he participated in the coverup.

I was part of his landslide but expected truthful behavior on his part.

I couldn’t stand Nixon, but what a brilliant and tough politician he was, his gut fighting political history and success against the media/left machine is extraordinary.

-—the widest popular vote margin in any presidential election.-—

” winning 60.7 percent of the popular vote and 520 electoral votes, to McGovern’s 37.5 percent and 17, respectively.

In becoming the first Republican ever to sweep the South, Nixon received nearly 18 million more votes than McGovern. He still holds the record as having achieved the widest popular vote margin in any presidential election.”

You mean by absolute numbers. I’m always more interested in %. It’s not shocking when someone beats another earlier person in population count.

That tough you describe as good.. it was a turnoff. He wasnt tough.. he was hard.
His wife .. she had to go thru it all.. and had not asked for it.

Mcgovern scared a lot of people.. me included. Thats one reason the vote count was wide

I didn’t describe anything as good, I was just describing the man and his toughness.

Nixon was a stinking, rotten, rhino, Globalist. President Trump is 100 percent American First.

There is a similarity between the two however. Nixon lost an election due to fraud and came back to win. Trump was cheated in 2020 and will win in 2024.

It astounds me that the South was his base, and New England was his least popular region.

Yes, post-election, when the facts came out and were proven not to be left-wing lies (which I initially thought).

Trump even managed to get caught on tape incriminating himself.

Hunh? I missed that "incriminating" statement. Maybe KEITH NAUGHTON could elaborate on what was that statement.

Okay

I saw nixon as fake tough.
The day he was leaving and said ‘im not a crook’.. he looked defeated.

His administration shattered..
Todays corruption makes all that less serious. He’d probably be able to stay if he took the dems play book

But if they didn’t like him...they would put him thru the dem thrashing machine.

Nixon was big government on all issues, foreign, domestic, economic, cultural, you name it.

Trump is big government on a some issues. Trump is small government on some issues.

Nixon did more to centralize power in the executive branch than any president in history. Nixon appointed Judges who believed in unlimited central government.

Trump mostly appointed judges that believe powers not specifically delegated to the Feds are retained by the states... or by the people.

Exactly. Interesting how some focus on the personality. others focus on what each president accomplished and was it good or bad. I’m not a fan of personality politics. It pales in comparison to what they actually do in government.

Donald Trump is just a smaller, weaker Richard Nixon...

Therefore its okay to do whatever we can to destroy him...even if we have to make crap up.
