"Who do you trust to be in that chair? Who do you trust to be ready to pick up the phone when emergency strikes? It must be Richard Nixon. As Vice-President he worked hard with Eisenhower to create a peaceful world, and now he runs again, to bring about law and order, to not the United States, but to the world. Our country is in turmoil, what we need most right now, is to trust the steady hands of Richard Nixon."
