"Nixon was brought down by his own lust for glory and power.

Oh, bullsnot: Nixon was driven out of power by relentless attacks from his Day One by Leftists who hated him for defeating their communist-leaning candidates and for continuing to push for a victory in Vietnam.

Every day, day after day, anti-Nixon pieces and cartoons in every paper and news broadcast. Every day some new "scandal" pushed by the Left.

They went after Nixon with every evil tool they could come up with and they eventually got him.

The same playbook they have been attacking President Trump with from the get-go.

IMHO the only thing that Nixon and Trump have in common is how the far left and their deep state lackeys went after them both. Nixon was the template that they tried to replicate with Trump.

It was not enough to simply oppose them politically. They had to be destroyed.

You’re missing the point. Nixon didn’t need any help from the Left to pursue his own lust for glory and power. And this was at a time when I thought Nixon was the cat’s meow. I wasn’t savvy to the “RINO” thing or a lot of other things yet.

Oh, the Left hated Nixon, but the Left did not force Nixon minions into the Watergate facility to try to steal confidential documents, the lynchpin that brought Nixon down because of Nixon’s incessant denials and lies. (NOTHING compared to today’s Left, Democrats, Biden,and Obama.)

Nevertheless, RINO Nixon didn’t need much help taking himself down. They gave him enough rope and he hung himself.

Nixon screwed up, the press was against him, done deal. Today Biden and Obama are basic criminals, the press protects them, nothing happens. The power of the press - life in a fallen world - but Nixon still screwed up.

👍👍

The Nixon “take down” was before my time, but the people who orchestrated it sure look familiar.
