Didn’t Tet show that all the talk about progress in the war was nonsense? Tet was a US victory on the battlefield, but it showed we weren’t close to finishing off communism in South Vietnam.
How did Nixon “win the war”? He campaigned promising to withdraw us, and he did; we left with communist units intact in South Vietnam (and it enraged the S. Vietnamese government).
And the greatest feat the Democrats and their media lackeys did was to paint Nixon as the “Vietnam President” instead of LBJ.
If you must know, our victory was made clear in this Prager University video:

Heck, the North Vietnamese units, according to Giap, even were deeply considering surrendering during Tet after we broke their backs until Walter Cronkite basically lied through his teeth on the air.
And for the record, Nixon had an enforcement provision in the peace agreement where we’d replace any materiel lost during the South Vietnamese’s conflict with the north, relegating us purely to a support role. That got nixed and blatantly ignored after Watergate. That’s all in this video. And even better, it was the North Vietnamese who thought we won Vietnam, according to that video.
And no, he didn’t campaign to withdraw us, he campaigned to WIN the war. And THAT he did. You mixed him up with his opponent, who was the anti-war candidate.
