The forces pushing realignment were greater than the one that ended Nixon's presidency. Reagan came from the conservative wing while Nixon was a hold over of the establishment moderate wing. The more conservative Republicans were largely unscathed by Watergate.

Nixon's and Ford's presidency ended the long grip of moderate Republicans on the party dating from 1944.
