I totally agree. It is sick and sad that 40 years later the GOP is holding a grudge. Nobody told Nixon to order the break in. Just like nobody forced 45 to spend 5 years on birther bullshit, a campaign of scapegoating race and religion and war vets and media and intel.
45 is the result of that clown car buildup. GOP never got over the fact their hero got his hand caught in the cookie jar. Now they have an ever worse asshole in charge.
