Nixon, Trump...
24 Answers
Here's an extract from Anthony Summers' book on Nixon.
'In private Nixon never did accept that Kennedy defeated him. The election had been stolen. Nixon started to sob'. All eerily prescient methinks.

I can see that if you have reached the ultimate position of power in the civilised world, with all the attendant years of adoration and cow-towing, it must be a difficult adjustment to make to understand that the public simply doesn't want you to be in charge any more.
Some manage that adjustment with the dignity and grace commensurate with their office, others who wouldn't know dignity and grace if either or both smacked them in the face, simply deny the truth and encourage insurrection in support of their unfounded nonsensical beliefs.

prescient?
oh yeah I remember that during the inauguration, Nixon and the watergate gang ( as teenagers that is, but still damned mad!) stormed the capitol armed to the teeth with nuclear weapons and the new nerve gases
and it was that that gave Kennedy the idea of the Bay of Pigs Disaster, including its humiliating end as Nixon was successfully repulsed
I remember now
now quickly people forget Painto

> interesting just how long this alleged vote-rigging has been going on in USA, the crowning glory of our Western values yet still so contentious; little, if any, attempt to solve this simple process
At least their voting machines work:

"SevenOP: He says a lot about Watergate, all of it condemnatory. Don't get your point. I'm not defending Nixon."
I was not making any point Paigntonian.
I just wondered if he considered it a 'defining' brouhaha in US history.
Ellipsis, as I cannot see behind the FT paywall I am unable to comment on it, and I am making no judgement on Dominion voting machines; but Dominion are but one of the 3 big companies(Election Systems & Software (ES&S) is the largest, followed by Dominion Voting Systems and Hart InterCivic) that control over 80% of the market, and we do hear about a lot of hacking in the USA.
'one person, one vote' is the holy mantra that that democracies use to justify their systems, so protecting that should be sacrosanct.

andy-hughes/Spicerack - but he is inclined towards pointless petty point scoring with off-subject superior jibes./
Like this one, you mean?

///Being trolled for expressing a personal view does not equate to being hoist by her own petard, are you sure you know what the phrase means?
The fact that you use it incorrectly suggests that you do not.14:37 Thu 11th Jun 2020///
