1. The amount of nonsense in this tweet is really astonishing. McGovern didn't lose because of his economic policy but Nixon used Feds to turbo-charge economy & create false boom (which quickly deflated after Nixon re-elected)https://twitter.com/LHSummers/status/1188083974146592774 …

5. Also, any statement Larry Summers makes against wealth tax has to be weighed against fact he benefits from current inequality since as university major-domo he was showered with plutocratic largess. Addendum: Here's a photo of Summers with Jeffrey Epstein.pic.twitter.com/g8wyG4Ox0r

But Dems were far more divided in 72. Archie Bunker was a Democrat.

Didn’t it come out a few years back that Humphrey called Nixon on election night 1972 to congratulate him on his win?

The one salient lesson from 1972 is that Nixon - NIXON - received over 47 million POPULAR votes, while McGovern got less than 30 million. Something similar happened in 1964, where the extreme loser got less than 30 million votes, the winner over 40 million.

I will grant, however, that
@realDonaldTrump does not fit into any recognizable category on the political spectrum. Those who characterize Trump as a conservative may want to check with@WalshFreedom or@justinamash .

But this is BS. Nixon was in no way a Trump. Good God he was in Congress for 4 years and then Vice President for 8 years. If there is any parallel it's Herbert Hoover who was a businessman and then appointed Secretary of Commerce. And we all know how that turned out...

As one of the local Dems running the McGovern campaign, the "old-time" party hacks did everything to sabotage our work. Soured me on politics for three decades!

All it takes to sabotage a left campaign is for a famous centrist to just enter the race as a third party. Something which can never be prevented. The center has an effective veto and that’s as it should be
