“Vietnam blew up in LBJ’s face before Nixon was president.”

That’s certainly true, but ask most Dimrats about Vietnam and they’ll refer to it as Nixon’s war. As putrid as the media is, they’re effective at educating willing fools.

Get your news from Walter Cronkite? The war was substantially won, despite LBJ's mismanagement. Nixon had almost finished the job until Watergate gave the Dems a pretext to cut funding. The 1973 oil embargo and resulting sharp economic downturn presented a double whammy for Nixon.
