@Smitty Smitty Once again defeat was snatched of the jaws of victory. Just like Iraq.

@solotechoregon Post 1968 Democratic Convention became the Anti-War Party. 2 reasons for this 1. Richard Nixon Won (Nixon was the Trump of that era..(ie Hated Loathed despised by Democrats and The National Media) so anything Nixon was for they were against. Then along came Watergate that gave the Democrats a reason to walk away from South Vietnam. And Nixon/The GOP fighting for its life could do Nothing about it. 2. A Coup, or start of a coup began at the 68 convention, where the Hard Left started to take over the Democratic party. By the Clinton years the coup was over the Hard Left WAS/IS the Establishment in the Democratic party. This is the Cliffnotes version.

@solotechoregon My friend I agree, but in the end it didn't matter. Because 1. the Democrats did not want a win, and 2. It was never explained properly to the American people....much like Iraq.

@solotechoregon One of the advantages of being a geezer...we remember these things. "I pay taxes then spend hours researching and dismantling the junk they are being taught." Sounds like you're a good parent. Thumbs Up!
