No, younger Democrats, this isn't like Nixon. This is like Nixon on crack.

83. I was a Watergate junkie.

I was working at my first good job after college. I worked all day and watched the reruns of the hearings on TV until I could not stay awake any longer. I bought all the Watergate books, and I still have them. I made my kids learn about Watergate, too.

There were some changes made to campaign contributions and the FEC came into being after Nixon.

We need to get rid of Citizens United and get back to being more careful. Maybe we will see some positive changes after this fiasco, if the orange monster does not blow us to kingdom come.

We need to abolish the electoral college.

We, as Democrats, need to standardize how we run our primaries. I would like closed primaries in all states.

The media needs to take a good, hard look at themselves, and we need to hold them accountable.

We need to prosecute people under laws that exist already, even if those laws have not been used in the past. These are times to break new ground and use the existing framework as it was intended.

Above all, we need to break the republican stranglehold on government. They should be considered a disgraced party until they can fix themselves. If they can't do that, then let them die as a party.
