You’re right, I remember that. Nixon (with help of Kissinger and Rumsfeld) was brilliant in Foreign Affairs.
Also, Nixon resigned from office rather than “put the country through the trauma of impeachment.” I don’t believe that was a cop-out, I think he had integrity and really cared about his country.
He also refused to make a big stink out of the election of 1960. There were irregularities and he knew it.
He refused to pull an Al Gore. And frankly, he probably should have.
I agree with your comments. I will say that Goldwater had gone belly up on him, so he didn’t he could prevail.
Boy, did we get a lesson in civics with Clinton, which really clarified how decent a person Nixon and the Republican party was in his day, and how corrupt and disgusting the Democrat party and the Clintons were in their day.
