4. Only our great-grandchildren will know who was right.

Nixon was infinitely better than Trump. Trump on his best day isn't fit to lick Nixon's boots. Nixon actually had decent policies. He was relatively smart. He probably had America's interests in mind. He submitted to checks and balances when caught in his corruption.

The Republicans turning on Nixon is part of the reason Fox News exists. There was no conservative echo chamber to push through the threat of impeachment. Roger Ailes aimed to change that with Fox News.

I do think that if Nixon had not been so paranoid and there had been no Watergate, that he would have gone down as one of our better Presidents. I do think he did quite a bit of good, despite being so paranoid you'd swear he was high.

Have always felt that too. The Watergate break in was ridiculous.
Most likely he would have won re-election but for some reason he had a brain fart.

For some reason we put these political leaders on a pedestal and in reality they are no different than the one goofball who puts diesel into his gas engine car at the filling station.

Then we could go through pages of postings about politicians who could not control their penises. We had a president who thought it would be foolproof to have an affair with an intern. Another president who thought $130,000 for a piece of ass while his wife was having a kid was smart thinking. And the craziest was the South Carolina Gov. who thought he could simple run all the way down to Buenos Aires, Argentina for a piece of ass before anyone caught on.

I have policeman friend who told me you ride around with these low IQ criminals in your backseat babbling and after awhile you begin to feel like Einstein.

I thought the world will end in 10 years. lol But seriously, you're entitled to your opinion, so I'll respect that.

None of the above.

Systematic divisiveness is the number one issue that Americans should be concerned about.

Brought to you by the people that make a damn good living off of doing so.

If I ever met Chris Matthews or Rush Limbaugh, I would kick their asses into the street.

u can't compare the two. One is right, one is WRONG. Rush is right of course

The most troubling trend is politicians and bureaucrats using their government positions for political purposes.

I have no idea why you'd say one group of robotic talking point regurgitaters is better than another, but I suppose that proves my concern is valid in at least one case.

well, I have often thought of Fox commentators as such also... but for some peculiar reason, the thought always... um.. shall we say "dissipates" in light of the seriousness of what they are actually talking about... corruption in our Capitol being uppermost in my mind.

Facts do not change regardless of who is telling us the facts.. problem is: we have to be careful who we listen to, which is basically what u are saying. I watch Fox to get facts.. I do not always draw the same conclusions from said facts that their commentators do.. and I have other criticisms also. I know the left like the accuse the Rs of not thinking and etc... but I don't listen to such accusations, especially since they are always guilty of what they accuse others of doing... always, always. And I don't speak of just common everday hypocrisy that we are all guilty of. No, their hypocrisy is BLATANT and to the point of pathology. (In other words, they know when they are spouting un-truths... just don't care)

The most terrible trend is white-washing of socialism - the most murderous ideology in the human history which murdered more as 100m in different countries.
Any country leftists hijacked is ruined, the last examples are Venezuela and Merkel's Germany

Other

Our biggest problem is with our citizenry itself
 
Actually 'all of the above' would have been a good selection because I vote 'all of the above'.
 
what is most troubling trend in USA?

Trump and his administration trashing the Constitution and the principle of "checks and balances".
 
The media refusing to report on important stories because it hurts their agenda AND the media reporting over and over again things they cannot substantiate causing uproar and chaos over things that turn out to be lies (e.g. "hands up, don't shoot").

The ever-growing government and elected officials making decisions based on what will get them more money and power instead of what is good for the country.

More and more kids coming into school who have never been read to, never held a book, not spoken to much and not been emotionally supported by their parents. HUGE problem in America.

Polls meant to push a right-wing nut agenda.
 
Hateful, divisive, authoritarian religious indoctrination in our schools is the #1 issue! By religious indoctrination, I mean the secular, faith-based, subversive religious CULT of Marxism!

Uh huh... Yeah, Trump is the one trying to criminalize speech, attack the 2nd amendment, and corrupt the democratic process by importing tens of millions of poor, mostly uneducated foreigners for the express purpose of ensuring a 1-party monopoly, undermining sovereignty, and filling the appeals courts with cultist ideologues who'll dutifully impose their Marxist ideology over constitution and law almost every time! Oh, wait.... That's NOT Trump, is it?? That's what the left are doing!
 
Selfishness and intolerance.
