1976 was the first presidential election I could vote in. I liked Gerald Ford as a person, but ultimately, his pardon of Nixon was the reason I couldn't vote for him.

Funny you say that. I had a very liberal US History teacher in high school. His first election was 72...and he voted for the Dem in EVERY one since...except in 76, he voted Ford because he felt the pardon was the right thing to do.

Decision aside, Gerald Ford put country above politics and ambition. Decent and honorable. A leader made for his time.

Ford was right to pardon Nixon, the trial would have dragged on for yrs and taken the focus off important matters like Vietnam/Inflation

Somehow, I don't see Pence as genuine - if we're lucky enough to bounce Trump out of the Oval Office?

Biggest mistake of his presidency, but I'm thinking that was the only way that Nixon agreed to resign.

Pence won’t pardon the gangster. He learned from Fords decision. In retrospect the Nixon pardon was accurate, this situation is far different.
