Say what you will, but I'd rather have Dick Nixon in the White House than Mr. Obama, Secretary Clinton, Governor Bush or Senator Graham.

What a stretch comparing TRUMP to Richard Nixon. They are hitting rock bottom to come up with this analogy.

Looks like the left is going to the old playbook using the “Nixon” card in an attempt to slime Trump. Not gonna work. Nixon, at his RINO worst, was still better than any Democratic president in the White House.

I don’t care if Trump IS taking similar positions to Nixon’s. It doesn’t mean he’s ‘channeling’ him.

That’s like tarring someone because, like Ted Bundy or Jeffrey Dahmer, he likes peanut butter sandwiches.

Sheesh.

The feckless Republicans:

First they said they couldn’t do anything because they didn’t have the Presidency, House or Senate. Then they said they couldn’t do anything because Harry Reid was blocking everything in the Senate. Then they said they couldn’t do anything until the 2016 elections because Obama would veto. Now they are saying they won’t be able to do anything even with a Republican President because too many Senate seats are up for grabs in 2018.

They promised us they would defund Obamacare. All talk, no action. They said they would reduce regulations on small businesses. All talk, no action. More speeches, no action.

Republicans control purse strings for 5 years through control of the House. What have they done? All talk, no action!

Thanks to Donald Trump, they are holding hearings on the hill focusing on the deaths of Americans by illegals. Thanks to Trump, many low information voters in this country who had never heard of sanctuary cities, or didn’t even believe they existed when they did hear about it, and now they know hundreds of sanctuary cities exist.

This is all happening thanks to one man, Donald Trump. Trump isn’t making excuses. He’s getting things done.

So that's where Nixon's head has been.

Thanks 2ndDivisionVet, and I wholeheartedly agree. Apart from Reagan, Nixon has been the best prez in my lifetime, he just intercoursed up the denouement. Goes to show how miserably poor the five Demwits have been.

These fools must lie awake at night, and there must be multitudes of them, trying to come up with new ways to smear Trump.

The difference is obvious.

Nixon broke into the Watergate Hotel.

Trump could buy the Watergate Hotel.

I must disagree. I think Mother Jones is on to something here. Just consider:

1. Both "Richard" and "Donald" end with the same letter.
2. Trump is a real estate developer. Nixon owed real estate.
3. Trump was on a TV show. Nixon debated JFK on TV.

All coincidences? I think not. In fact, I applaud Mother Jones for connecting these two evil-doers. That's so much more important than investigating the IRS scandals, Hillary's email scandals, etc.

Met some neighbors when we moved into our house 13 years ago when one asked if I was conservative, I told him I would vote for Richard Nixon again - he has not spoken 10 words to me since that day.

He does seem to have Nixon’s petty vindictive streak to him, I guess.

Nixon was a rather good president—done in my his own paranoid personality and bad advise. The Media and Anti-war movement hated him—and he paid for his sins. Trump will not make Nixons Mistakes.
