One thing hasn't changed - the cast of characters is still made up of pompous, pumped-up, self-absorbed drama queens convinced of their own intelligence and importance for no reason that is evident to anyone who made it through grammar school. Watergate wasn't the best thing ever to happen to broadcast news, it was the very worst. Nixon's final revenge was to leave the field to this gaggle of pompadoured darlings who aren't fit to polish his gravestone.
In 1972 Nixon was re-elected in one of the most massive landslide elections in U.S. political history, defeating George McGovern and garnering over 60% of the popular vote. He carried 49 of the 50 states, trailing only in Massachusetts.
Richard Nixon
The coup that overthrew President Nixon was largely orchestrated by Senator Edward Kennedy to reverse the left-repudiating 1972 election and serve Kennedy's presidential ambitions. This coup led to Communist victory in Vietnam, toppling dominoes in Southeast Asia, and encouragement to left revolutionary movements worldwide. It also allowed Kennedy and his liberal media allies to identify the tragic Vietnam War not with President John F. Kennedy, who committed the first 17,000 armed troops there, but with Republican President Nixon.
