What if the Watergate scandal never happened, or never became as important as IOTL so Nixon serves his full term(maybe the tapes are never recorded, or they're burnt)? How would the 1970s be altered? How would the Nixon presidency go TTL, and what would be his legacy? How would the 1976 election go? I think Carter would not be nominated as his outsider pitch does not strike as much of a chord with no Watergate, the Republicans would win as it was close IOTL even with Watergate, though I'm not sure if Reagan or someone else would be the nominee. What would be the effects of no Watergate going forward? What if?
