Sehr genau. Und du weißt, Nixon kommt aus Kalifornien, könnte in einer Art und Weise sich von den Kriegen über die schwarzen Zivilrechte und die Rasse im Süden auslösen, um sich als jemand zu positionieren, der diese Dynamiken nicht auslösen musste. Und er engagiert sich nie in Segregationist-Politik. Wenn er Rasse-Baiten macht, ist es immer tieflich in der Sprache von Gesetz und Ordnung.

In the language of states rights. And that's the cleverness of the Nixon campaign is coming up with that new way of talking about racism.

Yeah, he has to sort of represent himself to the nation. Because remember, the last time that he was a big national figure, he wasn't doing so hot when it came to politics. But Nixon also faces a very different political environment by the time you get to 1968. He's being challenged by these liberal and moderate Republicans, people like George Romney and Nelson Rockefeller.

He wants to make it clear that he's more conservative than them. He hires Pat Buchanan, who would later go on to be this major conservative figure, but he hires him as one of his speechwriters and advisors to help him reach out to conservatives. And he also has to be less conservative.

overtly segregationist than George Wallace, who is the former Alabama governor, who is also running for president, is a third-party candidate, and is not only doing well in the South, but is also picking up disaffected white working-class voters in the North. And so Nixon really has to carve a path between those two.

Ja, in Part because it was signaling like a big change that was happening in the Democratic Party, which had been dealing with the so-called Dixiecrats since 1948, those disaffected white Southerners who oppose black civil rights. But Wallace was also putting himself in the way of that new Southern strategy. Those voters that Wallace was appealing to, Richard Nixon wanted those voters.

So that's when he's really honing his language and his outreach to people in the South. And people like Strom Thurmond become very important. for vouching for Nixon and making it clear that he's still your guy.

Sehr genau. Ich meine, Vietnam ist ein pivoter Problem geworden, weil im Anfang von 1968, sobald die Kampagne unterwegs ist, die Tet-Offensive passiert. Und die Tet-Offensive ist dieser Moment, wo, trotz all der Generalsversprechen, dass die Vereinigten Staaten diese Krieg gewinnen, trotz all diesen Versprechen wurde es so klar, dass die USA nicht gewinnen wollten.
