I didn't know Nixon was a character on "My Little Pony".
Have a happy day all!

Sanity Claws
(21,845 posts)17. Trump has already been lifting things from Nixon
His phrases "silent majority" and "law and order" are straight from Nixon.
Solly Mack
(90,761 posts)18. Yep. I noticed that too.

(90,761 posts)22. Think how easy the attacks ads could be? Trump wants to be Nixon? What? Another failed President?
Do we really want to go through another Watergate?
Nixon left office in disgrace. Does America really need that again?
Trump wants to channel Nixon? Then hit him hard on it.

The Checkers speech or Fund speech was an address made on September 23, 1952, by the Republican candidate for vice president of the United States, California Senator Richard Nixon. Nixon had been accused of improprieties relating to a fund established by his backers to reimburse him for his political expenses.

During the speech, he stated that regardless of what anyone said, he intended to keep one gift: a black-and-white dog who had been named Checkers by the Nixon children, thus giving the address its popular name.
