Aside from watergate (I think it was a conspiracy), but in general, was tricky dick a great president?
>can't lick the dick
No, he opened China. They should have been kept isolated from Western economies for as long as possible.

In his short time tricky dick did well. He would've been one of the great if he wasn't set up. He wasn't the only one doing what he was doing, he just got "caught" doing it.
all in all, I think yes
Yes, he saved Chile

America first, straight shooter.
No for various reasons such as >>70590375 and >>70590668 but curious about the conspiracy because I have heard that Nixon was spying on the Democrats not because he wanted to win (already fishy since he was projected to win easily) but because he was afraid they were being taken over by Marxists. Can anyone confirm?
>>70590555
Nah, Nixon was practically a closet democrat. Or maybe it's more accurate to say he was one of the last truly centrist US politicians. Trump is more like Reagan on steroids.

>already fishy since he was projected to win easily
I asked my parents about this, they said he was paranoid as fuck and when watergate happened everyone was of course shocked that it happened but just as shocked that he would have done it in an election he was going to easily win, but that was his nature.

Well look at the Democratic Party today.
