A FORMER PRESIDENT QUOTE AND HAS HISTORY REPEATED ITSELF?

I was doing research on an unrelated topic, and found this quote from a former President of the United States. Wishing to share with my fellow community members, and of course asking the eternal question of have we finally learned our lesson from history?

"The political lesson of Watergate is this: Never again must America allow an arrogant, elite guard of political adolescents
to bypass the regular party organization and dictate the terms of a national election."

Gerald Ford
