The “mixed feelings” people like Gerald Ford had in 1974 are in part the reason we’re in this situation today.
Gerald ford sacrificed his re-election chances because he wanted to heal the country
There’s a reason he won a profile in courage award
No, he did it because he was a partisan hack. That was the single worst decision of his Presidency. All due respect, but the idea that he “healed the country” by pardoning Nixon is a load of BS!
If anything, it’s effect on public confidence might be the root of the whole crumbling one day.
