Close to 5 years later and it’s funny looking back watching CNN turn a video on Nixon into a love fest about Hillary Clinton. Even if Nixon hadn’t resigned and the butterfly effect caused Hillary to never get into public office she’d still never be president 😂😂

To: BlackApostate What if paid commenters stopped trying to mislead people by slandering CNN. Watching CNN videos is always enlightening, and your comment is illogical. CNN is a very reliable source for fact based news. This is obvious.
Then it might be the 3rd most watched Cable News Channel in the world, one that is also displayed 24/7 at airports and has millions of youtube subscribers.
This segment is like saying: "Had my dad decided to go to work that rainy cold night 29 years ago, instead of faking being sick and cuddling next to his wife (my mom)."
Well. Maybe his approval rating could have sort of improved. He was negotiating peace between america and vietnam in 1968. Maybe he could get the job done and be well approved again. And maybe improve the country as well. And maybe nixon would be elected in 1972 or mcgovern.
"Sometimes, it takes more courage to give up than to keep going" (Napoléon Bonaparte-1812). How many of you out there wouldnt even think of being able to handle the daily stress of the US Presidency? You run your mouths yet not one of you could do the job because if you COULD you would be there now. Nixon would have hurt more people staying in then by leaving. And he knew this. Imagine the anguish this man must have felt. Only now does history look at the Nixon Administration with compassion rather than contempt. Nixon was not a bad or evil man just made some poor decisions. He inherited a stagnant economy from Johnson and Kennedy; a seemingly never-ending war which he didn’t start but had to try to end it, large-scale efforts to desegregate the nation's public schools admit still festering racial unrest. When I enlisted in the Army in 1977 I swore an oath to respect our President…. we didn’t have to like him…but we did have to respect him. Many of the comments below state what this country would have been like if Nixon hadn’t resigned. NO ONE knows what would have, could have or should have. You can’t change the past only the future. If you disagree with Trump vote him in 2020 or run against him.
Don't give Nixon too much credit, he purposefully extended the Vietnam War for 7 years. And just saying, "well, YOU couldn't be President either" doesn't excuse Nixon from the crimes he committed during his Presidency. Not poor decisions, crimes.
So three of the big takeaways from this hypothetical universe are: (1) No Reagan, (2) Bill could dalliance with interns to his hearts delight w/out political ramifications, and (3) Hillary would not have been as secretive and as much of an insider (I.e. more electable)... That sounds more like a dream alternate reality for a CNN viewer and correspondent than anything else. Next we will be told that Nixon’s resignation was part of Reagan’s collusion with a Russia to set the eventual stage for the Trump presidency....
This video should be titled, "What if Nixon Had Gotten Away With Watergate." As it is, if Nixon had not resigned but everything else had played out the same, he would have been impeached and convicted and removed from office, leading to Gerald Ford ascending to the Presidency.
I think if he was convicted and removed from office, ford may have seen it as a bad tactic to pardon him, so he may have been able to defeat carter and stay president until 1981, at the point, Ronald Reagan would have run for president and likely won
Stagflation and the transition to a mostly post industrial economy would have happened anyway regardless who was occupying the oval office, because it was a global process that accured in any western country. Vietnam would have fallen by 1975 anyway, because congress had enough, and the democrats would have holden their majorites in the house and the senate anyway just like the shah of iran would have to leave his country and even the teheran hostage crisis did not happen because of jimmy carter. But you could still argue, that if a republican president (maybe ford) would be in charge at this time and the republicans be in charge of the white house since 1969, which means for the whole 1970ths it would have been enormous difficult for Ronald Reagan to distance himself even as an "Outsider" running as a candidate for the party that would have been in charge in a time where almost everything went bad for the country. Carter had extremely bad luck to be in the White house in 1977 til 1981. And do not forget that the recession lastet until fall of 1983, and for the most time of Reagans first term it was more expected that he would be a "one term president", because his approval ratings were low until the economy started booming again by fall 1983. You could also ask the question what would have happened, if reagan and not ford would have won the nomination in 1976. And the answer might be simple, even if Reagan would have won in 1976 the bad shape of the economy would have haunted him till 1983 and it would be very doubtful that he would be re-elected in 1980
This should be called “If Watergate never happened.” If Nixon hadn’t resigned, Ford would have been President on September 9th instead of August 9th, 1974. That’s the only change.
There is an argument for that. Nixon's Electoral total in 1968 was 301. Trump got 306 and there is every reason to believe it will be that much or higher in 2020. I don't see him failing to carry anything two and a half years from now that he carried in 2016. Ohio, Pennsylvania and Florida are assured which means a second term is assured. No way to stop it. Nixon slaughtered McGovern like a farm animal and I don't look for that level of performance from Trump in 2020 but the actual outcome will never be in question. 1968 was a shootout. 1972 was shooting fish in a barrel. 2020 will be the same way. Forget about impeaching Trump. If nothing else, the bankers will keep him there. Our entire economy is built around the banks. That goes all the way back to Hamilton.
If you talk to people who lived through that era, they still think he was. My dad (retired insurance executive), his best friend (owned a car business), etc. They all think so.
To excuse an expression, his foreign policy was unimpeachable. His paranoia was his his downfall. If he hadn't sent the plumbers into the Watergate, he would have been highly regarded. He was not as conservative as Ron Reagan but was a moderate Republican. He was a very intelligent man but his lack of confidence was his undoing. As a young liberal ,I hated him but as an old conservative , he is better than some.
Richard nixon 37th president (1969-1977/81) Jimmy carter 38th president (1977-1981) Ronald reagan 38th or 39th president (1981 two months) George.h.w.bush 39th or 40th president (1981-1989) Dan quayle 40th or 41st president (1989-1993) Bill clinton 41st or 42nd president (1993-2001) George.w.bush 42nd or 43rd president (2001 eight months) Osama bin laden 43rd or 44th president (2001-2005/09) Barack obama 44th or 45th president (2005/09-2013) Donald trump 45th or 46th president (2013-2021) Joe biden 46th or 47th president (2021-today)
Pete Rodino wouldn't have been in Congress that term had not the Democrats bribed the NAACP to quiet down William S.Hart who had Rodino beaten in the primary until Harrison,NJ Mayor,Frank E.Rodgers,voted every tombstone in Hudson County for Rodino.
I disagree. Ronald Reagan nearly won the GOP primary in 1976. I think there's a *BIG* likelihood that Reagan would be elected president in 1976. Both Clintons would still have risen to prominence and Bill Clinton would almost certainly still been elected president in the 90s, either 92 or 96-it's possible if Reagan was elected in 76 & 80, Clinton could have been elected as early as '88.
So Now What Nixon didn’t resign from The Presidency In August 1974 And If So How would he have handled and viewed The Eventual Fall Of Saigon to The Communist North Vietnamese & Vietcong during the following April of 1975 and also who would have taken his Place in 1976 and would Gerald Ford have still become The Republican Nominee And would he have also been Elected over a Democratic Candidate like Jimmy Carter or some other Random Democrat🤔🤔🤔🤔 ????????
He would have been impeached, and tried in the senate. The vote would have been 63 guilty, 35 innocent. Two not voting. Jerry Ford would not have been president, but Christine Baisey Ford would have been.
That outcome would have been unlikely, as by the time Nixon decided to resign, he was told that there were only about 15 senators willing to vote for acquittal, making conviction a near certainty
I'd love to be paid by CNN to do sophomoric alternate history anyone could do. Can I have Timothy Naftali's job?.... For one thing, had Nixon not resigned, he would have been impeached and removed from office -- the voters were clearly there to do that, and that's the only reason he resigned. That still results in Jimmy Carter being elected etc.
If Nixon didn't resign he was prepared to forgo a House vote and go directly to a Senate trial, which he would have lost barring a miracle. If that miracle had occurred, he would have been a lame duck for the rest of his term. However, he only had the support of perhaps a dozen Senators. Bottom line: If he didn't resign on August 8, 1974 he would have been removed from office. All that happened afterward probably would have happened just as it did.
Nixon could have "won" in the Senate but a Democrat would have won in 1976 easily and he would have no chance of a pardon. By resigning he got the pardon and he gave his party a fighting chance I'm 1976. Ford only lost to Carter barely in the Electoral College.
Yes, but a switch of 3,687 votes in Hawaii and 5,559 votes in Ohio from Carter to Ford would have resulted in Ford winning the election with 270 electoral votes. That's rather remarkable given how far behind Ford was earlier in the race and the lingering shadow of Nixon resigning.
We know people high in the Republican party. Sanders would have placated the hard left only to have him destroyed in swing states. Bernie will probably be the nominee in 2020 as a straw man just as Stevenson (52/56), Mondale (84), Dukakis (88) and Kerry (04) were straw men who could never be viable. Read Ferraro's book. Even she says they knew they could never win. At some point, all this stuff becomes political theater. The Republicans got their tax bill. That sort of thing only happens once in a generation so the die is cast. We're going to have Republicans in office for years to come, both in Congress and the White House. This ship has sailed, nothing you can do to stop it. This time next year, you and I will be sitting here arguing about 2020 but the people in charge will already know the outcome. I know it right now.
Well we can have a good idea of what would have happened. After the current situation with Trump plays out. If Nixon had the same strategy as trump ie the middle finger and deny deny deny. I'm sure as with Trump nothing will come of it and he would have finnished out his presidency.
we would have the mother of this video as president of the US and i rather have some idiot do some stupid shit, than a fucked up bitch fucking up on purpose.
Probably be in some simmering Cuban Missile Crisis in Syria. Liberal dipshits seem to forget the bullshit going on during the couple of months between Trump's election and inauguration. And why are now liberals all of a sudden anti-Russian? They couldn't wait to suck and swallow the Kremlin when it was communist. Go figure.
If Trump never became President, The US never cuts off relations with Cuba and all the EPA regulations are not rolled back, this leads to a Economic development in clean energy at the expense of business. Business's are less willing to provide increases in productivity simply because there are more taxes to pay thus less money to use as an insensitive. This of course to the average worker, doesn't increase or decrease overall performance but as the cost of living increasing and retirement age gaining higher and higher, many become to question the idea of the American Dream, with to them, appears to be not be a very good dream due to no living standard increase. In this reality, it is likely that Hillary would achieve the same outcome concerning North Korea due to the Olympics still occuring in this reality and a original plan of crackdown with sanctions (Similar to our timeline but - a possibly less military threat towards them). Hillary never destroys the Iran deal thus Iran is still fine with the US, However her plan to basically put no boots on the ground in the Middle East, causes ISIS to stay alive for longer than expected. Russia is more distant with the US during this timeline, although Russia is a bit rocky in our timeline. Putin's inability to reason with Hillary, seeing her as a threat. Puts both each other in tense relations. Her encouragement for the Free Syrian Movement would most likely cause Putin to assert itself in a Military way by getting heavy involved in the war against ISIS, thus more of a chance for the Syrian Government to remain in power once ISIS has been defeated, this causes Hillary to have to turn her back on the campaign promises by also getting involved due to "National Interest". This in turn results in a dispute which establishes the Democratic Syria nation in a US backed collation in which several US forces remain in this territory defending it from the rest of Syria, Russia defending Syria from the "Threat" Of the new Democratic Syrian government. (It is likely the land mass held by this Free Democratic Syrian Government would be the same areas now where the Democratic Syrian resistances is).
We would have missed out on watching the rug pulled out from under Hilary's hooves and the liberal temper tantrums everytime they hear the word "Trump". We have at least 2.5 more years of this and then another 4 years. 2020 is going to be a hilarious election when he wins again.
By modern standards, Watergate was not that bad at all.
No it was, Watergate was the tip of the iceberg. He was a genocidal monster

Well we can have a good idea of what would have happened. After the current situation with Trump plays out. If Nixon had the same strategy as trump ie the middle finger and deny deny deny. I'm sure as with Trump nothing will come of it and he would have finnished out his presidency.
... 👀
Then he would be impeached. Obviously.
"expert" in government secrecy... LOL
k
Nixon was a great president and he will go down in history as a humanitarian and great tactician.
The best President ever.
What if trump never became president?
we would have the mother of this video as president of the US and i rather have some idiot do some stupid shit, than a fucked up bitch fucking up on purpose.
Probably be in some simmering Cuban Missile Crisis in Syria. Liberal dipshits seem to forget the bullshit going on during the couple of months between Trump's election and inauguration. And why are now liberals all of a sudden anti-Russian? They couldn't wait to suck and swallow the Kremlin when it was communist. Go figure.
Andrew Taylor we wouldn’t be a country
The missiles would be flying toward Guam and Hawaii.
If Trump never became President, The US never cuts off relations with Cuba and all the EPA regulations are not rolled back, this leads to a Economic development in clean energy at the expense of business. Business's are less willing to provide increases in productivity simply because there are more taxes to pay thus less money to use as an insensitive. This of course to the average worker, doesn't increase or decrease overall performance but as the cost of living increasing and retirement age gaining higher and higher, many become to question the idea of the American Dream, with to them, appears to be not be a very good dream due to no living standard increase.
In this reality, it is likely that Hillary would achieve the same outcome concerning North Korea due to the Olympics still occuring in this reality and a original plan of crackdown with sanctions (Similar to our timeline but - a possibly less military threat towards them). Hillary never destroys the Iran deal thus Iran is still fine with the US, However her plan to basically put no boots on the ground in the Middle East, causes ISIS to stay alive for longer than expected. Russia is more distant with the US during this timeline, although Russia is a bit rocky in our timeline.
Putin's inability to reason with Hillary, seeing her as a threat. Puts both each other in tense relations. Her encouragement for the Free Syrian Movement would most likely cause Putin to assert itself in a Military way by getting heavy involved in the war against ISIS, thus more of a chance for the Syrian Government to remain in power once ISIS has been defeated, this causes Hillary to have to turn her back on the campaign promises by also getting involved due to "National Interest". This in turn results in a dispute which establishes the Democratic Syria nation in a US backed collation in which several US forces remain in this territory defending it from the rest of Syria, Russia defending Syria from the "Threat" Of the new Democratic Syrian government. (It is likely the land mass held by this Free Democratic Syrian Government would be the same areas now where the Democratic Syrian resistances is).
It's give and take. Give Richard Nixon Remains president and Hillary doesn't run and take because Reagan wouldn't be president
Reagan was almost the candidate in 1968 and then again in 1976. He would have gotten the nomination somewhere along the line. It was inevitable.
We wouldn't have the spineless jimmy carter
We would have missed out on watching the rug pulled out from under Hilary's hooves and the liberal temper tantrums everytime they hear the word "Trump". We have at least 2.5 more years of this and then another 4 years. 2020 is going to be a hilarious election when he wins again.
