NIXON wouldn't make it in today's Republican party.
Some of the talk today about Nixon fails to appreciate how far right this country has swung. Nixon was destroyed by his personal paranoia, but politically he'd be to the left of today's Republican party.
He negotiated the Strategic Arms Limitation Treaty I with the Soviet Union.
He negotiated normalization of relations with China.
He did what this country has completely forgotten how to do - SPEAK and NEGOTIATE with those whose interests are not aligned with ours.
That sort of thing is anathema to the cowboys we have in office now.
