        @msnbc @cnn @Morning_Joe @JohnWDean @jmeacham @DorisKGoodwin @TheLastWord @allinwithchris @SenateDems @playboy @esquire @ap People forget. NIXON resigning wasn't a SURE thing. Even right up to the very LAST moment. But I REMEMBER. There was a real FEAR that he wouldn't RESIGN.

        @maddow @tapper @wolfblitzer @jheil @DeadlineWH @washingtonpost @tpm The SPEECH was going along fine. Then NIXON turned DEFIANT. "I have NEVER been a QUITTER" My HEART skipped a BEAT. "To leave office BEFORE my term is completed is ABHORRENT to every INSTINCT in my body"

        Our system was more robust and worked then. We're in much deeper now to a man that makes Nixon look like a saint.
