Nixon was a genius politician. What policies of his were wrong? He was smartest guy we had on international politics.

His downfall doesn’t disqualify him from being the correct choice for president. And it really had nothing to do with domestic or international policy he was just an asshole

He was not the best choice he did much harm. Our economy is still in upheaval from his policies.

Bull shit.

He laid the groundwork for international trade and saw China rising as an economic power before anyone else. He knew that we needed china as a economic partner to stop Russia. He built the modern day economy. We'd be in worse shape than Europe otherwise, and likely not be the worlds reserve currency and not be able to whether financial crises as well as we have ( and we have, compared to other nations)

Nixon had some pretty decent ideas. He also needlessly perpetuated the war in Vietnam, and gave a blank check to Kissinger to commit war crimes. He also was paranoid and a criminal, and had some really fucked up domestic choices.

Sadly, as civics and decency have declined, and racism has skyrocketed in recent decades, many more of those states have become firmly entrenched as reliable voters for complete losers. Education is vital, and that’s a big part of why MA is both prosperous and a liberal stronghold. Say what you want, but Republicans are demonstrably moronic. Your comment only reinforces that fact.
