        Trump is worse than Nixon in every respect. The difference is that there are no decent GOP lawmakers to stand up to him & we must vote them out emphatically in November to show Trump that he and his family are not Royals. #SundayMorning

        Nixon had respect for the rule of law.

        True. Those of us who lived thru watergate thought that nothing like that could happen again.

        I’ve always had trouble with this argument. If America is a nation of laws and the president is elected, the laws also apply to the president. No one is above the law. “Je suis l'état” is not democratic. #Napoleandefense

        I remember that. Nixon was a smart guy, but he was wrong. Trump is also wrong.
