I am willing to say that I may have said the wrong things, but you aren't. There were mistakes on both our parts, but you won't admit that you were wrong. If you would only admit your mistakes, then it would make things better.The title of the message containing this was "I'm sorry, I think." Pretty much sums it up, doesn't it?
Pre-Watergate, most Americans were inclined to trust the President--no President had ever been implicated in that kind of criminal activity (White House staff, yes, as with Grant and Harding, but never a President). There was zero historical reason for suspecting a President would do such things as Nixon did; it was as unprecedented in the American mind as aliens visiting Earth.
