because public discourse exposing the lies of top administration officials and distrust of the electorate for leadership of a party in general led to the election of Jimmy Carter.
People just wanted honesty and couldn't trust anything out of the mouths of Republicans who had praised Nixon for so long - who the people saw tied to a liar for so long.
The people seen to be fighting to expose lies and corruption are generally well thought of once the lies and corruption are exposed. Only revisionists like Liddy and Robertson would say otherwise!
