The sad reality is that no Republican helped his or her career by repudiating Nixon in 1974, & no Democrat helped his or her career by repudiating Bill Clinton in 1999 or Andrew Johnson in 1868. The people who won the WH after that had mostly kept their heads down.https://twitter.com/HotlineJosh/status/1195388776954171394 …

So you’re saying because Ford didn’t win in 1976, keeping distance from Nixon didn’t work?

He kept a safer distance than people who were aggressive lats-ditch defenders (though he also pardoned Nixon, the very definition of moving on). But he had not been a loud Nixon-must-go critic in 1973-74.
