That is a pretty tall statement
Nixon had a lot of big blunders.
But I agree it was huge
What were Nixon’s other blunders?
Watergate was an ‘op’ to do two things:
1) Prove that the DNC was laundering money for the Teamsters, the ‘plumbers’ got the proof
2) To prove the DNC was operating a call girl service out of the DNC HQ - and that it was run by John Dean’s (soon to be) wife, again the ‘plumbers’ got the proof
The ‘press’ had to go radical on Nixon to save the DNC...
Nixon was a terrific President.
