Why exactly is our success based on that of the GOP & Trump? Didn't Nixon prove it wasn't?

The American public has a very short memory. That's the only conclusion one can draw. One step forward, two steps back. And this time, we took [b]four[/b] steps backwards and fell down a mineshaft---figuratively and historically speaking. 馃槖

Either choice was a bad one! I'm comfortable. But my kids aren't. As a result of our divisive politics! I have to help them do what I could do on my own. I blame that on regulation and greed. Where do we go now?

@JoanieNewHampshire: My family's pretty united, thank goodness. My mother didn't believe any of the rumors about Hillary over things Trump has actually [b]said[/b], and [i]his[/i] past record of racism and sexism was a deal breaker for all of us. I'm not sure what's going to happen now. I'm curious to know what he had to say to Martin III today, since he believes Rep. John Lewis, who fought in the trenches with MLK, "hasn't done anything but talk". That's pretty outrageous.

Agreed! I'm holding my breath. At the first incident of impropriety in his office I will be one of the first to point a finger. Until then? I'm not on the popular band wagon. @bijouxbroussard:

Success is based on achievement! My ability to achieve is based on what government can do for me, but what I can do in spite of government

Nixon actually did have some successes. He was just as crooked as Hillary though.

Regardless, you're forgetting a lot of History between Nixon and now. Republicans could just as easily flip that question around and use Johnson and Vietnam.
