Nixon's presidency, if he'd been able, would have been him sitting in a dark room with Henry Kissinger playing Risk with real soldiers.

Not denying that. But again, that's the difference between a guy like Cruz and Nixon. Nixon was an ego maniac, but he'd do anything to make sure he'd look good politically. Cruz is ALL that PLUS he's a Ayn Rand/Dominionist ideological dipshit.

Nixon's presidency, if he'd been able, would have been him sitting in a dark room with Henry Kissinger playing Risk with real soldiers. Nixon imposed wage and price controls on the country. Recall that there was a "Pay Board" and a "Price Commission", and wage/price increases had to be cleared with the feds. Imagine the simultaneous explosions of heads if Obama even joked about such a thing.

FuzzySkinner posted:Dude at least payed lip service to it and didn't obstruct like a grandstanding jackass. But he did!! He vetoed the Clean Waters Act (creating the EPA) among other progressive legislation you listed. Its just that Congress had a veto-proof majority. One thing he managed to successfully veto was nation-wide paid leave and child care legislation, so there's that. Vile posted:You have your head up your rear end if you don't acknowledge at least the potential appeal of Trump to blacks And atoms are actually made of pint-sized elephants...potentially. But its all about likelihood. And microns-length pachyderms being the basis of existence is more realistic than Trump winning a significant percentage of the black vote.

But Rocks Hurt Head posted:lmao here we go The last I saw Trump had something like a 91% unfavorable by blacks I'm telling you it will change. The man actually hasn't done anything bad to blacks. It's the image from the primaries of white supporters at rallies and the KKK stuff. It was all planted. All a set up by the media. It was obvious at the time and should be now. I'm telling you 20% of black voters will wake up to that and see the betrayal and how used they were by Clinton and the Left. Trump will speak to them and they will hear. We also have Friend Ben. that's a lot of voters
