Nixon’s crime was beating McGovern in a nationwide landslide. No one in the media voted for Nixon or knew anyone who did, so he must have stolen the election and had to be punished.
Trump’s crime was beating Hillary when it was her turn, dammit. No one in the media voted for Trump or knew anyone who did, so he must have stolen the election and had to be punished.
Nope. No similarity.
They wanted Nixon’s scalp ever since HUAC.
Nixon’s real crime was to offer significant support for the Whittaker Chambers’ charges against Alger Hiss, one of the most egregious of Communist infiltrators in American history.
The communist left never forgot or forgave Nixon for that sin.
“Nixon’s crime was beating McGovern in a nationwide landslide.”
McGovern was a fairly easygoing far left technocrat, but his followers were extremist monsters. The Clintons were among them. They ran Nixon and didn’t even blink.
There was a need to get over the idea that there should be such a thing as “getting your turn” when it came to elections. Hillary never seemed to get over that idea.
