If Nixon had been a Democrat of today, he’d have simply stuck it out and completed his second term. What was striking then and is striking now was the willingness of members of the GOP to go after Nixon - you’ll never see that kind of behavior among Democrats.

Notice that Obama did far worse, and the Media simply covered for him. Consider the IRS scandal, or Fast and Furious. Both much worse than Watergate.
Well, not today, certainly. Can’t say we never saw that kind of behavior among Democrats before then, however, especially considering that Walter Cronkite’s infamous reporting on the Tet Offensive where he lied about the outcome in order to force a retreat among America is apparently what got LBJ to renounce running for a second term.
