Even though I deeply disagreed with Nixon, Nixon truly loved this country.

Trump doesn't. So no appeal to his love for the country or democracy will have any impact on Trump

Nothing and no one else even comes close.

IMHO--sad, yes.

No question.

And who knows how many Republican officials
are on the Epstein list.

1) Nixon was not a well balanced psychological specimen, but he was not the completely unhinged delusional maniacal monster that currently occupies the oval office.

2) The Republican Congress in 1974 was an independent entity. They were a different kind of Republican. And I assume many of them were not being controlled by threats and kompromat.

3) Nixon was (mostly) surrounded by mostly regular operatives within the party. He was not flanked by the likes of Stephen Miller and Russell Vought egging him on. His cabinet was not completely made up of incompetent sycophantic sleazes.

I think what we need is a few brave and (somewhat) ethical Republican Congress critters to start voting with Dems.

that he would be convicted in the Senate and removed from office. At that point, there were 77 solid votes for conviction.

Congress member to look sideways at trump.

We need them to speak up but they do not have the courage.

…after they had done a head count and found that Nixon didn’t even have close to enough Republican votes to stave off conviction in the Senate upon his certain impeachment by the House.

Can you imagine any scenario where Trump wouldn’t keep a core of loyalists totaling 33 Republican Senators?

the tapes emerged, proving that Nixon had been right in the middle of the burglary and cover-up. They did it, not out of patriotism, but to save their own asses.

Scream at them and tell them he’s in charge and get the fuck out.

And like true repuke fashion they would nod yes and walk away with their tails between their legs
