woul;d waltergate still happen?
It's Watergate, by the way. Waltergate is the "Mr. Reagan will raise taxes and so will I" scandal.
I think one way this can be done is if Muskie is nominated in 1972. He would lose by a smaller margin, but Congress would not be able to separate themselves from the doomed Democratic ticket. As such, Nixon would have large coattails and turn Congress red.
