Nixon was kind of anti war in 1968.

Not really. Infact, Governors Romney, Rockefeller and Reagan ran against Nixon in 1968 for the GOP nomination as the anti-war Republicans. Nixon was not anti-war.

He wasn't anti-war in his heart-of-hearts, but nor is Hillary Clinton. He did, however, campaign strongly against the war during his presidential campaign. Humphrey's promise to Johnson not to campaign against the war would have made 1968 a landslide had Johnson not recanted in the last few months.
