Nixon was never impeached or convicted. Public pressure can build. Not that with a compliant press we expect that, but it’s possible, remotely possible, that he could be forced to resign rather than face impeachment much less conviction in the Senate.

Nixon, even though his price and wage freezes, creation of the EPA, and opening up relations with China might not back it up, was a Republican. The press killed him and he was an honorable man and resigned.

Clintoon, was humiliated, had his law license pulled, and was impeached by the house. And through all that the press minimized it all and he never resigned. He also happened to be a Democrat.

Now, what would happen to another Democrat President, and the first black President?

No, there is nothing, absolutely nothing, that will cause Zero to resign, and almost nothing, short of ordering the New York Times to close their doors, that would cause the press to call for his resignation.

(And even then, CNBC would probably point out the positive aspects of closing down the NYT and give Zero a pass...)

Nixon was a saint compared to any Democrat. As was McCarthy.

I share your optimism! (sarc) Ain’t gonna happen. ONE major difference, for what it’s worth: no one, much less a U.S. Ambassador, was killed @ Watergate. Again, poor Nixon had the ill fortune to have been Republican and not a Dem. And the press hated him with a purple passion long before Watergate.
