Of course, a convicted former president doesn’t necessarily need to be an incarcerated former President; a convicted former president can likewise be a clear and resounding reaffirmation of the rule of law absent incarceration.
 
But an incarcerated former President would be a clear and resounding reaffirmation of the fact that no one is above the law and a clear and resounding reaffirmation of the rule of law itself.

The ‘get it behind us for the good of the country’ mistake Ford made shouldn’t be repeated; indeed, we likely wouldn’t find ourselves here today had Ford not made that mistake.
I think Ford's move was not a mistake at all. I'm not sure what it would have looked like to see Nixon in Club Fed but I wouldn't have felt any safer or more patriotic because our system worked.

I also think there is a certain amount of humiliation that goes along with a pardon; a robbing of one's manhood that the guy who beat you took mercy on you. It makes Trump look weak, small, and having needed rescue.

Again, a convicted former president doesn’t necessarily need to be an incarcerated former President.

A conviction of Nixon would have established a compelling and important Federal precedent, without Nixon going to prison.
