Nixon attacked TV networks and got into personal arguments with journalists such as CBS’s Dan Rather.
And this is a high crime and misdemeanor how?
Did he use the IRS or NSA, against the people?
Nixon at least had some honor - AND he was an American.
The similarities to Nixon, and the trajectory of the fall, show some eerie parallels, with a few important differences.
Nixon was actually an American, and never used any kind of affirmative action to get into position of political power. Worse, the press and other media of the time when Nixon was climbing up to his eventual heights, was almost uniformly AGAINST Nixon, but he rose and rose again in spite of them.
Even at his dip into despair, in 1962, when Nixon was prone to feeling a little beaten up after losing the California gubernatorial race, he quietly went about rebuilding his brand, something that the Current Occupant has never dirtied his hands with, always having been somebody else’s pet project. Doors were opened for The Won that Nixon had to batter his way through.
But the bruising earlier battles really changed Nixon, into a much more driven person than he would have been otherwise. Obsession with being a convincing and important public figure, and having to do it all the while in a hostile environment, caused Nixon to be just a little more demanding, and some would say, rather paranoid in his dealings with those who set themselves up as his “enemies”.
The Imposter never has been as good at Nixon in repelling his “enemies”, but he has had impressive defense set up for him all along the way. Even with all that, the New Imperial Presidency has not been able to resonate with more than a part of the highly vocal prevent defense crowd, and in the end, has shown no proficiency or expertise in the art of governance.
yes I would if Obama was the other salesman.
