Nope, my post was clear. I think you just misread it. It's obvious that 68 was Nixon's first election, and 16 was Trump's first election, and predictions about the corresponding re-election clearly equate 72 with 20.
Sorry if you want Watergate 2.0, you need to endure McGovern 2.0. Get your story straight!
Also Nixon was the start of a run of Republicans winning 5 out of 6 presidential elections, ending the Keynesian consensus, stagflation, and the Soviet Union.
Be careful what you wish for.
You'd have to opine that the American public was still in the same place as 1972...which it certainly is not by most measurements.
It's easy to compare crooks...single crooks or a couple of them.
A LOT harder to compare the entire populace of the nation and where society has progressed to.
Do you think, for example, that legal pot and same-sex unions would have floated in 1972? I rest my case.

Actually, you're completely wrong on Keynesian economics. Behavioral Keynesian economics laid out the foundation for explorations of wage rigidity and unemployment. By that time everyone knew neoclassical theory was deeply flawed.
Look at 2008, Europe chose austerity, we chose Keynesian theory. We've ended up way better off.
