Actually, Nixon never lost Vietnam, he if anything WON that war, as you can watch here, by Prager U, no less: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7hqYGHZCJwk
What actually happened there was that the leftists in the media and the anti-war crowd blew up Watergate to be an impeachment trial, forced him to resign, and then sabotaged the agreement WE made to help the South Vietnamese.
As far as the complaints about whether Nixon was hardly a conservative by you and the guy you’re responding to, maybe I should remind you that Eisenhower deliberately allowed the Soviets to launch Sputnik into space before us, and also expanded education to the extent that it arguably accelerated the leftist infestation, pretty much shut down McCarthy’s heroic attempts to expose and try Communists within our government, and put in two very left-wing supreme court justices (something which even HE admitted was a mistake). And even Ronald Reagan nonetheless brought in NAFTA and played a role in the border crisis.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m not at all fond of Nixon’s deal with China, either, and in fact, I viewed it as a mistake myself (then again, I also didn’t see the wisdom in allowing the USSR to launch Sputnik into space other than placating Soviet-orchestrated international protests), and there’s plenty of mistakes Nixon made, but if we’re going to denounce Nixon as hardly a conservative for those mistakes, we might as well denounce Eisenhower and even Ronald Reagan as RINOs as well. And as far as the EPA, last I checked, at the time it was created, the EPA was actually necessary (let’s just say there was a reason the term “crud” was coined, and it dealt with polluted toxic sediment within a river).
