According to Toobin Cruz cited Presidents Richard Nixon and Ronald Reagan as examples of conservatives who won elections and President Gerald Ford as a moderate who lost.

Nixon was not a conservative in my opinion.

Not by any stretch of the imagination.

In comparison with the Democrat nominees (Hubert Humphrey and George McGovern), Nixon seemed very conservative.

But, I agree with you that he did not particularly espouse conservative principles when he was POTUS.
