      In retrospect the way Republicans turned on Nixon was an amazing historical anomaly, one that we won't see again in our lifetime.

          Didn't Nixon hate most elites in his own party too? Expressly not in the club? I wonder if that had something to do with it.

          It could happen if they had a VP they liked and trusted, as the 1974 group had with Ford.

          Ford had a really hard primary battle against Reagan after his first term (like 1100 delegates vs 1000 delegates). Underlying it: Ford had pardoned Nixon, implying there were crimes to be pardoned for, Reagan basically thought Nixon had done nothing wrong.

          Nixon was not long after the post-Johnson R/D shift began, when there were still liberal Republicans and conservative Democrats.

          And before the R party had become completely synonymous with movement conservatism.

          you can make a strong case that the entire story of republican politics since 1974 is a crusade to vindicate nixon and make sure republican presidents can do watergates to their hearts content without any sanction or consequence

          It is. Fox News was started by a Nixon aide to protect corrupt Republicans from Nixon’s fate. It worked.https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2011/06/roger-ailes-nixon-gawker-documents/352363/ …
