2016 Postmortem

(17,493 posts)To me that seems to be a very accurate description.
Hillary and Nixon share many personality traits.
1) Both were driven to become POTUS with what could be described as an obsession.
2) Both have been called deceitful for good reason.
3) Nixon was paranoid as is Hillary.
4) Nixon distrusted the press and so does Hillary.
5) Nixon has an enemies list as does the Clinton Machine.
6) It was hard to like Nixon and that is also true of Hillary.
7) Both tried to destroy evidence. Nixon erased 18 1/2 of Oval Office audio tape. Hillary tried to have her dark server wiped clean. Nixon's missing 18 1/2 minutes has never been recovered but rumors are that the FBI was able to restore the data on Hillary's server.
I also lived through the Nixon years and I agree that I never want to see another president similar to Nixon.

I was also in the Air Force in 1969. Those were interesting times.
