Reagan vs Nixon
Many a commentator has compared Trump - for better or worse - to Reagan. Kinda of a dickish version of Reagan.
And - rightly - the USA Today compared Hillary to Nixon:
"It has taken almost 50 years, but the Democrats have finally found their inner Nixon. Make no mistake about it: Hillary Clinton is the most Nixonian figure in the post-Watergate period."

Of course Nixon - awful as he was - was a canny politician and had what many people say was a near photographic memory.
So... That means 2016 could come down to dickish Reagan v less clever Nixon.
Let that sink in.
It makes the head spin.
