    Dave Weigel Retweeted Will Stancil

    My unifying Hot Take is that Dems have an idealized memory of Watergate and think there's a magic moment when Republicans say "enough." In reality most GOP voters and MOCs supported Nixon by the time he resigned.https://twitter.com/whstancil/status/1203756877189795840 …

    Will Stancil @whstancil
    It would be BETTER if Democrats believed this. Instead, they've become paralyzed by their obsessive concern over finding the exact correct code phrases to reach the public. They'd better served simply dumping out as much accurate information as possible. https://twitter.com/brianstelter/status/1203743603111026688 …

        Dave, Nixon had a 25% approval rating when resigned. More than 25% of the electorate were Republicans. So if by "most" you mean 51% of Republicans, then sure.

        Ronald Reagan defended Nixon through to the very end and afterward called on us all to move on because Nixon was a good man. Two years later he was nearly the Republican Nominee, 6 years later he was President.

        My hot take is media is sloppy and lazy. Want a sporting match. Don’t treat this seriously. If we go up in flames, media will wonder what happened.

        Replying to @daveweigel

        A consequence of this is that Democrats, as soon as they understand that it's impossible to reach most GOP voters, think it's time to pull the plug. No matter how many people they convince, it's never good enough unless they convince whoever is left unconvinced. But ~50% is good!

        I always think about how the GOP hammered away on Clinton's supposed corruption for years, and it seemed to be having no additional effect. And then the Comey letter was unexpectedly released, and all those years of hammering paid off, because it literally tilted the election.

        Many supported him until they died. Any suggestion to the contrary is more of what I call the Forest-Gumpification of political history.

        Yup. All the Cheney-Barr types out there who think he should have stayed and fought harder. 😬
