So. I have many many questions!

1. Does anybody here support or defend Nixon and what are the excuses that Nixon supporters use to defend the former President?
2. Are there many Nixon supporters in the USA?
3. Does Nixon have many fans or admirers who are politicians?
4. What do you think of the Nixon Presidency and do you think that Watergate is the worst thing that he was involved with?
5. Did you vote for Nixon? How did Nixon appear differently to you when he was running for his first term compared to when he was running for his second term?
6. How long did it take for you to support his impeachment, if you supported it at all?

Thanks!

1. No
2. No
3. Not many
4. Nixon was a political animal, a populist wannabe, and a pragmatist. None of the above are endearing qualities in my book.
5. Too young at the time to vote
6. About 1 New York minute.
