The difference between Nixon of the 70s and the democrats of the 21st century, is the Republicans took their lumps got over it and went on.


The Republicans had a former Democratic Governor (Ronald Wilson Reagan) who was underestimated by almost everybody. At the time he defeated Jimmy Carter the Democrats had firm control of the house and senate. It is not too often that either party has the likes of a Ronald Reagan to come along.

And, like him or not, Newt Gingrich had a fit of genius when he engineered and lead the greatest congressional turn around in modern politics. The Contract With America influence remains today.
