President Nixon has lost his effectiveness as the leader of this country, primarily because he has lost the confidence of the people.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Once the public loses confidence in a president's leadership at a time of war, once they don't trust him anymore, once his credibility is sharply diminished, how does he get it back?
Nixon has enough to overcome in terms of his legacy and his political history. Now he has to overcome the in-fighting between his daughters. It's so sad. There's another obstacle for him to clear.
Nixon's grand mistake was his failure to understand that Americans are forgiving, and if he had admitted error early and apologized to the country, he would have escaped.
Nixon was the beginning of people not trusting politics.
The trouble with Nixon is that he's a serious politics junkie. He's totally hooked and like any other junkie, he's a bummer to have around, especially as President.
Losing the presidency is not like losing any other office. More than any other office, it's a vote about you as a whole human being.
It was accountability that Nixon feared.
Of course a lot of the journalists hated Nixon, but they were always blown away by how smart he was.
Because of Obama's ill-advised actions, the world has lost American leadership.
The reason I'm a Nixonite is because of his indestructibility and resilience. He never quit.
