would nixon have been considered a great president if not for watergate
If nixon never had watergate, would he be a great president? I mean he open relations with China and took some early steps toward ending the cold war with the USSR. He kept the economy in line and he ended the draft. He also did eventually get us out of Vietnam, a mess which LBJ had left for him to deal with. He launched the Environmental Protection Agency. He created more new national parks than any other president and started the federally funded war on cancer.
