I ask this question because I see similarities between 1972 and 2016. Clinton is as McGovern. Trump is as Nixon. Do you think Nixon/Ford was a conservative administration? Remember the National 55 MPH Speed Limit? Remember WIN (Whip Inflation Now) wage and price controls? Remember OSHA? Remember the visit to Red China? Remember who founded the EPA? With Trump being so "shoot from the hip", will he even finish his term if elected? If Trump doesn't finish a term, will the effect on the GOP be similar to 1974?

You know Jo, I think an argument for that can be made! :thumbs:I would say the opposite. The nixonesc figure is Clinton, being experienced and smelling of corruption as she does. Trump is the wild card man in this case with mad ideas.
:lamoIn 72 I was to too busy chasing girls and getting high and did not care. Same reason why those kids today should not vote.
I also must add what's perhaps Nixon's most lasting impact: Forming the DEA.I ask this question because I see similarities between 1972 and 2016. Clinton is as McGovern. Trump is as Nixon.

Would have? I did vote, McGovern.
Bah - you otherwise seem like such a sensible guy! :2razz:Presuming it was 1972 and had no awareness of Watergate (like everyone else in this country): Nixon without question.

I'll give him his due on foreign policy though, but then who couldn't do foreign policy with Dr. Kissinger in their cabinet?

I also voted for McGovern.
...Think Alike. [emoji41]Great Minds.

Perhaps nothing has cost American citizens more pain and Constitutional loss, than the War on Drugs; though I must credit the Reagans with taking Nixon's DEA to wholly unprecedented levels!
Yep. Nixon started it, but Reagan put it on steroids (no pun intended).I also must add what's perhaps Nixon's most lasting impact: Forming the DEA.

Same here. Too young, but given my lean when younger it certainly would have been Nixon.I was too young to vote but my parents voted for Nixon and I would have as well.
