Sorry to be so obvious, but isnt it clear that what the United States needs is a Democratic Richard M. Nixon?
No, not that one. Weve had plenty of truth-bending, political dirty tricks and abuse of authority from both political parties over recent years.
Im thinking of the other Nixon, the one who longed for a place in history and whose shrewd instinct for the political center produced: the Environmental Protection Agency; arms talks with the same Soviet Union he had built a career on denouncing; wage and price controls that violated every canon of his partys philosophy; and, of course, the opening of relations with Red China.
That sort of Nixon, with a Democratic pedigree, is the figure our republic could use sometime soon.
The breakthrough needed now doesnt involve China (though relations there certainly could be improved), its about national solvency. After radically swelling an already dangerous national debt under the most recent presidency, the nation is on track for a similar run-up during the next few years.

They had one - 0bama - complete with Watergate.
Dream On, Mitch. That party of Antifa fans would eat him alive.
What, Pete Buttache doesn’t fit the bill? Perhaps sleep around Kamala, Socialist kook Bernie, Liz Indian Warren?
And Joe, does he even know the difference between Russia and China?
Crooked Hillary did a good imitation.
Sorry Mitch, the Dems are now a socialist/communist party that want a Lenin/Stalin/Mao. And the ‘leadership’ don’t give a damn about the old line Dems who still vote for the new democrat socialist leaders out of .... who knows what/why.
Ever notice the Left is obsessed with two things,
Their worship of Kennedy
Their need to continue resurrecting the Nixon boogieman
Notice how we don’t need a lying impeached “Republican Clinton”, or a demagoguing, incompetent Republican Obama, or a warmongering, lying Lyndon Johnson. No, WaPo has will continue to beat that Nixon dead horse until the last 1960’s beatnick baby boomer is dead.
And gee, to think that Dick’s immediate Democrat predecessor would make him look like a choir boy when it came to election and personal fraud, dirty tricks, identification and intimidation of political threats, racist remarks, behaviour towards women and other staff, etc.
President Trump is great.
The Dems are using Nixon to bash President Trump? LOL
They already have plenty of crooks to choose from, why do they need another? (A waste of a good crook, I think)
Kennedy??? Kennedy would be run out of the Dems so far and so fast he’d be at Warp 10 headed for the Delta Quadrant.
Mitch Daniels was the POTUS choice of George Will.
Times ten
Mitch and Hillary sitting in a tree...
The democrats are Nixonian.
They had one but she lostHillary Clinton.
Mitch Daniels needs an enema.
5.56mm
So the paper that drove Nixon from office, now wants a Democrat Richard Nixon.
I think this is the pinnacle of hypocrisy.
