    Watergate would be a 12 hour news story only because this administration has a Watergate-level scandal every other day.

    The vice president also suggested if the Watergate scandal that led to the end of Nixon’s presidency happened tomorrow, “It would be like a 12-hour news story.”

    He added, “The idea that it took down a presidency is crazy.”

    The “for all the wrong reasons” bit in the headline confused me. It gave me the impression that people were talking about the wrong part of his speech, but I think its intended meaning was just that he was talking up Nixon and comparing him to Trump and himself in the first place. I guess my confusion got me to read the article, so it served its purpose?

    edit: oh hey someone already made my point and was more succinct about it. It doesn’t look like things are federating properly in my direction right now. whoops!
