would a Giuliani presidency be similar to Nixon's?

discuss.

I think Giuliani's election to the presidency might be somewhat like Nixon's. A pro-war candidate getting narrowly but comfortably over the line.

*sigh*

How many times does this crap have to be rebuked?

[HardRCafé]

Nope.  Howard Johnson's is gone.

[Undisguised Sockpuppet]

No. Nixon had some ethics and principles.

[Kaine for Senate '18]

No; Nixon was more capable, and more ethical than Giuliani.

[NDN]

No; Nixon was more capable, and more ethical than Giuliani.

Also, Nixon didn't campaign as "pro-war," he campaigned as having a 'secret plan' to end the Vietnam War with 'peace and honor.' Giuliani and the other GOP candidates (with the exception of Paul and Brownback) don't understand that in order to win, they need to do the exact same thing on Iraq.

[Bay Ridge, Bklyn! Born and Bred]

No.  Giuliani is what Republicans were at the turn of the century:  a bit progressive on social issues.  Common sense on fiscal issues.  Maybe too aggresice on foreign policy.  Giuliani would be more like a Teddy Roosevelt.

A Hillary Clinton Administration would be much more like a Nixon Presidency:  both are majorly flawed characters with chips on their shoulders who care for nothing except power.

giuliani isnt an anti-semite.

[Small Business Owner of Any Repute]

giuliani isnt an anti-semite.

Nixon wasn't just an anti-semite, he was anti-everyone.  Smile to your face, spit on your back.

Rudy is much more what-you-see-is-what-you-get.

[Tetro Kornbluth]

No; Nixon was more capable, and more ethical than Giuliani.

Did two people just say Nixon had ethics? LOLZ.

[SPC]

Yes, Giuliani would be very similar to Nixon in his presidency. However, so will Hillary, unfortunately.

[NDN]

Yes, Giuliani would be very similar to Nixon in his presidency. However, so will Hillary, unfortunately.

I disagree with you on the first, agree on the second. Nixon actually governed like a Liberal with the exception of Vietnam and a few things, chances are Giuliani will govern much more to the Right.

[Eraserhead]

[Lief 🗽]

Nixon wasn't that bad.

On the other hand, Giuliani is an authoritarian extremist.

[Undisguised Sockpuppet]

A Giuliani Presidency would look like:

[Lief 🗽]

I doubt he'd grow the mustache. Kinda hard to find wife #4 when you have an ugly little thing like that above your lip.

[Undisguised Sockpuppet]

I said would look like not be an exact clone.

[Ebowed]

Nixon is seriously overrated on this forum.

[Eraserhead]

I said would look like not be an exact clone.

I think his comment was meant to be sarcasm.

[AkSaber]

I don't think it would. Giuliani seems quite socially authoritarian.

[Tetro Kornbluth]

I don't think it would. Giuliani seems quite socially authoritarian.

And Nixon's wasn't... ?

Btw, I was travelling throughout the UK (Though I actually made the mistake of saying I was travelling through England... in a bar in Edinburgh.) and I think in order to speed up my journey, dependant as it was on public Transport (I know understand The Divine's Comedy "National Express" song) and on foot, I must have jaywalked at least 100 times. Amazingly this did not turn me into a social deviant, except perhaps in eyes of some Scottish pub patrons nor did they involved in any accident worthy of note. Just felt like bringing this up, you know...
