“...after watching Trump deal with an even more rabid media - I think Nixon should have fought back”
I don’t think America would have accepted it back then. We still believed in morality and integrity Remember it was the greatest generation.
By the Bent One in Chief came along, us boomers were in charged and a big chunk of us were so self centered we didn’t care. Morality and integrity were no big deal. (Think of the treatment of Clarence Thomas vs. the Rapist)
We have watched it spiral down hill since then. After watching the demorats use the men in Benghazi as human sacrifices, I turned from really disliking them to total contempt.
Since then it’s become beyond disgust.
I think Trump just has a different modern attitude that knows how to fight back.
If anyone can drain the swamp, he can. Watch and see and pray.
So we went from The Greatest Generation to The Boomers.
What about the entire generation that you skipped over? Where did they stand?

“I don’t think America would have accepted it back then. We still believed in morality and integrity Remember it was the greatest generation”
I was about to concede the point but then I remembered JFK - this double standard predated Nixon, despite the greatest generation. Where were the high moral standards of the greatest generation when JFK’s scandals were swept under the rug?
Unless you believe JFK deserved his legacy of Camelot, and that Nixon deserved his infamy.
I do not.
