I was in high school during Watergate but I was wondering at the end were there any solid supporters of President Nixon at the end. Were there people claiming he was being wronged?

If Trump is ever brought down will there be a contingent standing with him through the bitter end no matter how solid the evidence?

I believe Watergate and the Vietnam conflict caused a mistrust in our government the continues to this day.

When I think of a Nixon dead ender I think of the late Indiana Congressman Earl Landgrebe.

When asked about the Watergate scandal he responded “don’t confuse me with the facts”.

I believe the Vietnam era, and the protests started to make anti American thought chic, and popular to this day. It seems to be badge some wear to prove they are enlightened, evolved, and smarter than others. It is B.S.

No social media, cable TV, or all these polls back then so it's hard to say.

I was a young adult during that time period and Nixon was shamed. I didn't know anyone defending him but I'm sure there was.

I predict no. There will be some but they will not be noticed.

Dragging out Nixon to bash Trump. That is desperation !!!
Desperation is the anchor of the inability of democrats to accept the results of the 2016 election..

They set Nixon up, just like they are trying like hell to do to Trump.
The CIA bugged Watergate, then blamed it on the Republicans and telling a bunch of lies. Nixon screwed up by trying to help cover it up as they had implicated his buddy.
The the prosecutor and judge set up the case and the appeal together.


Trumps EGO the size of the Himalaya mountains, is the difference and his saving grace. A normal guy like Bush, Romney, or McCain, would have crumbled by now.

The government has always been the same. Nixon didn't change anything. It's just the media hated Nixon because he wasn't part of their elite club.


Lincoln, Andrew Jackson, Wilson, FDR, the Kennedy's and LBJ did a lot worse things.

I'm sure there were some people who stuck by Nixon and felt he was wrongly accused, but nothing like we are seeing with Trump. I don't know if people are just that much more gullible today, or if Trump is that good of a con man, but we see people who would fall on a sword for him, even on here.


When Trump is dethroned, it is going to get ugly around here.

Trump won't be brought down. But Trump haters will still be strung along by the DNC-Media complex.
