“When the action is hot, keep the rhetoric cool” Not sure if President Nixon was the originator of this phrase, but I like it

His respect for those who disagree with him is commendable.

It strikes me that Nixon is actually answering the questions that are put to him. These days “communication experts” teach politicians not to do that. “Don’t answer their question”, they say, “answer the question you wanted them to ask.”

Nixon was an expert at speaking off the cuff. You wouldn't see dementia Joe having a press conference like this today.

I’m a Kent State grad and Kent Ohio is my home town. That incident on May 4 1970 has seared that community so much in the past 54 years

I never thought I’d feel nostalgic for Richard Nixon, but I do. At least he could speak intelligently and coherently, without any notes. I hated him and his expansion of the war but at least he was not a moron.

The War was already expanded, Nixon merely did what Lyndon Baines Johnson should have done.

@@cringeandpunishment3140 hilariously, Nixon was somewhat less of a criminal than many officials around him and future presidents, he just got caught in some of his crimes and actually framed for others like Watergate. He was definitely a criminal, but really not exceptional by presidential standards.

They weren’t nonviolent as we were taught. They were hate mobs burning down cities and looting in an effort to get what they wanted. Sound familiar? So yes they were bums. The war was drawn out longer than it should’ve been courtesy of lbj being a year and a half late on each move. Thank the democrats the ones who could never do no wrong.
