with Nixon in 1972 ( when you were just fwee ) the commentators said that a person hanging onto office could only happen in America as elsewhere ( besides well Ghana and so on ) they would be chucked out by a vote of no confidence ... not poss in the land of the free
What I always found comically tragic about Nixon and Watergate is that there was no need. Nixon was on course for a landslide anyway, which he duly achieved (49/50 states). It's as though the Tories had to break into Labour HQ to find the dirt on Corbyn. Pointless.
