Was he the hero that America needed but didn't deserve?

>>3254264
In a way yes. He was also incredibly corrupt though. Had Watergate not happened, he probably would have been incredibly popular

>>3254264
Probably the second-most underrated president of all time, right behind Truman.

>>3254264
Yes. He got Mao to stop being as retarded.

Apart from the obvious he was probably the greatest post war president.

That was luck to some extent.

Clinton was actually a good pres though.. i think he could contend for that title

>>3254360
Clinton was never really tried. He'd have to have been retarded to mess up his position.

His tenure was certainly the best eight years in post war America however

>>3254264
Yes. Especially considering the "scandals" he's done are relatively light compared to what presidents nowadays do. But Watergate was when public trust in the government started declining rather quickly.

Nah, People will always find a reason to shit on Tricky Dick. My high school teacher tried to convince the class that Nixon was a racist.
