MY SAY: THINKING AHEAD

Bernie rises to the top….don’t gloat.

In 1972 Eugene McGovern democrat Senator from North Dakota challenged incumbent President Richard Nixon. McGovern won the nomination in a crowded field of contenders including Senator “Scoop” Jackson and Hubert Humphrey. He was a socialist and his slogans were rather anodyne “Come Home America” and “A Democrat for the People.”

Nixon boasted a strong economy and success in foreign affairs, while McGovern ran on a platform calling for an end to the Vietnam War and a guaranteed national minimum wage.

Nixon won in a major landslide which was at the time the largest margin of victory in the Electoral College for a Republican in a U.S. presidential election,taking 60.7% of the popular vote and carrying 49 states.

On August 9, 1974, he resigned in the face of almost certain impeachment and removal from office.

Caution Mr. President and jubilant Republicans. Democrat scoundrels are continually plotting your removal.rsk
