And Watergate started in 1972, and Nixon resigned in 1974, so not seeing how it last half as long... And 34 indictments, including 6 of Trump's close advisors, isn't exactly nothing... But yes, Trump will probably be the nominee in 2020. Nixon didn't have Fox News and similar outlets, and didn't have a party that was as ideologically homogeneous and contemptuous of the opposition party. Nixon would probably survive in today's media and political environment.

Archibald Cox’s Watergate investigation began on
May 25, 1973, NOT bloody June 1972, when the Watergate break-in took place. Nixon resigned on Aug. 8, 1974 — after Cox was replaced by Leon Jaworski in the wake of the Saturday Night Massacre.
Gosh, let’s count! That was less than fifteen months between the very first special prosecutor investigating Nixon and Nixon’s resignation.
Robert Mueller was appointed on
May 17,2017, to serve as special counsel in the Russia investigation. That is nearly
two years ago. I don’t care who he has indicted — it is time he put up or shut up about
TRUMP. He owes it to the country.
Pelosi is from Blue California and Bennet is from Purple Colorado. You go parse the difference. And yes, Pelosi is a reactionary fossil, IMO. She recently airily dismissed the Green New Deal as the “green dream,” indicating, as with Feinstein, her condescending contempt for young people and progressives.
