Why... "Trump" .. is like "Watergate"..number of reasons.

1. New stuff happening all the time..and that new stuff is totally unexpected.

2. There is a "he said" .."she said" quality to it. Or who said what?

3. As in Watergate, it points directly to the President of the United States.

4. The president's closest advisors are directly involved in the corruption...

5. Like Watergate, the goings and comings are being closely covered by the media

6. Well...some of the stuff is just...unbelievable ................. for example:
..everything was taped in the Nixon White House, so there was proof as to who said what..(this came out about halfway through or maybe somewhat past that) ....
...... or in this case right now, did Russia interfere in our Presidential election and was what Russia did the difference as to who won or lost? could be...

7. It is not just the "new stuff" that comes out, it is that some of the "new stuff"..is bigger than the "stuff previously reported and exposed. It seems to get bigger and bigger..(whatever that means)

8. Lying and more lying was/ is a very important part of both.

Those of us who followed Watergate closely, (and I did) were amazed at the scope of the corruption. That corruption covered a great deal, and so does this. We will see how this all turns out, also, who knows how long this is going to go on?...that too was an unknown in Watergate as it is with ..Trump/collusion/lyinggate
