Support of Nixon by republicans never lagged.....until............
It was after the 1974 primaries when republicans running for office, gauged the mood of the electorate, and determined that (to save their own sorry hides) Nixon had to go to save the party.
A deal was struck that included assurances to Nixon that a pardon would be forthcoming from Ford, allowing the criminal....Nixon.....to simply "retire."
Any current talk about impeachment of the orange buffoon is way too early...the missing factor at this point is the looming threat for republicans to lose congressional control......but, let the primaries next year "encourage" their country over party mantra.
You mean they waited for actual evidence before throwing Nixon out? Insane!
