I’m fairly certain Watergate was when “it’s not the crime, it’s the cover up” became a thing. And I wouldn’t at all be surprised if someone at the RNC took the fall and gave Nixon plausible deniability, that the whole thing would have blown over in after a couple of months.

Agnew probably still goes down because that was a whole other kettle of fish. But if Nixon doesn’t get tangled up in Watergate, how many things change? Ford as VP might win in 1976, meaning no Reagan Revolution in 1980, and a possible Ted Kennedy challenge to Ford in 1980?

Depends who Ford runs against in ‘76.
