Ridiculous. I'm old enough to remember hearing "A Nixon win in 1968 means doom for America" and then hearing the same thing about every successive candidate for president.
We're still here!
So is Bangladesh- being here does not mean we are doing well.
Unfortunately it would also mean fou years of complete silliness and partisan witch-hunting from GOP Congress, so they might win the WH, but lose the Congress.
You are only half right about Nixon.
The reason he shielded his people is only because he needed them to protect him from being revealed.
When Nixon didn't need someone, anyone was instantly disposable to him. Nixon threw everyone who was ever close to him under the bus sooner or later. By the end of his life, that was why he has so few friends left.
You probably wouldn't like most of her friends, but she has a lot of them. And they are not all women.
Clinton has done nothing criminal. And she's not 360 degrees in the opposite direction of Nixon, either.
Clinton's flaw is the same as Nixon's- an oversensitive need for privacy in a very public career that has lasted for decades. That's a great internal conflict in a profession where a hide as thick as an elephant's is increasingly a necessity. Clinton deals with hers a lot better than Nixon ever did.
For both, their sensitivity led them to do some truly great things, while lots of ire upon them at the same time.
Their greatest difference is their inner self confidence. Clinton does not have the same overwhelming self confidence her husband possesses, but she is very much more self confident than Nixon was.
Nixon was pathologically insecure, and that's what brought him down. His lack of self confidence caused such a strong need for control it led him to commit the crime that eventually brought him down.
As to only being concerned about herself... well, you are entitled to your beliefs, but millions of women will quickly disagree with you on that one. She is the strongest women's rights advocate America has ever nominated by far, and that's why she has commanded the female voters from the very first.
You need to study the Clinton's history...both of them. They leave a terrible trail every where they go.
