For those of you old enough to remember...when Nixon resigned, how many people STILL supported him?

When he resigned, his approval rating was 25%.

I remember my great uncle, one of his supporters, stopped coming to family dinners, or maybe was asked to do so, because everyone else was tired of his rants about the commies out to get Nixon.

@Northwest The media killed Nixon, just like it trying to do to Trump.
Northwest · M
Yeah, thanks for reminding me why my great uncle was banned. It’s a media conspiracy.

@jackson55 yeah, the fact that Nixon was a criminal had nothing to do with it
@jackson55 Nixon was dishonest. The media just reported it. Just like with Trump.

[@ Too bad the media didn't treat Obama the same. They covered for him for the entire 8 years.
@jackson55 Wait, you’re comparing [b]Obama[/b] to Nixon ? In what freaking universe ?

@bijouxbroussard If and when the truth be told about Obama and Hillarys involvement in the Russia nonsence. Then talk to me.
@jackson55 Looks like I won’t be talking to you anytime soon. I don’t give any credence to crazy conspiracy theories.

[@ It's not a crazy conspericy therory B, the media won't touch it because they can't get off the Russians helped Trump steal the election. That's BS, so now it's Trump and the hooker. And when that dies down it will be some other nonsence. You don't hire a CEO because he's a nice guy, you hire em to get the job done. And seem to be what he's doing inspite of the negitive press he gets. And as I've said to you before, if the economy continues to improve, unemployment continues to go down and he solves the Korea issue he will be reelected. People vote with their pocketbooks.
@jackson55 It's not about Trump not being a "nice" guy, even though he [b]isn't[/b] one.
It's about him not being corrupt.
And he can't say that, from the scandals with his family involvement and nepotism, with his constant [b]lies[/b] and accusations that he doesn't have to offer any evidence to support, because folks like you will believe [b]whatever[/b] he says.

Russians hacked the system (that is why 13 Russian nationals were [b]indicted[/b]).If they were doing it on Hillary's behalf, why is Trump president ? He didn't have the popular votes.

Trump [b]is[/b] hiding something (that is why he's managed to fire [b]everyone[/b] who looked like they might be getting close to the truth. If he was certain that all of these [b]Republicans[/b] who are investigating him were going to clear him, [b]why doesn't he just cooperate[/b] and get it over with ???
The media is on Trump because he's giving them ammunition. Pure and simple. He has to tweet in response to [b]every[/b] freaking thing anyone says about him, he lies openly and brags---and gets caught. Obama did not [b]do[/b] that kind of crap, and you cannot claim he did---you'd be a liar.

@bijouxbroussard I am completely blown away by those who think Trump is infallible. I honestly don't think it would/will matter if he was formally indicted. Those who support him would [i]still[/i] insist that he is innocent. There is just [i]no way[/i] their leader could ever be corrupt. Hmmm...kind of reminds me of the Manson followers. Completely brainwashed.

@SW-User Makes me realise how people are brainwashed through history to vote in people like Hitler, there is just no talking to some people, no matter what evidence, truths you present them with, they are still just going to stick with believing what they want to believe.

It's a waste of time debating I believe, because THEY CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH

@SW-User Absolutely true! Politicians aren't Gods. There a just as capable of corruption as anyone else.
