"Was Richard Nixon the last true liberal president?"
Maybe, in retrospect. It didn't seem like it at the time.

'Actually, Nixon did have a health care plan': Watergate star witness John Dean

"Few people today would dare call President Richard Nixon a radical liberal," Dr. Gary Freed, a professor at University of Michigan, wrote in 2015. "But 44 years ago, he proposed a health plan that went far beyond what today's Affordable Care Act includes. After the first plan failed, he did it again three years later."

Nixon a liberal? Don't make me laugh. When I think of tricky Dicky, I think of a super Hawk who immersed us further in Vietnam after Johnson. That's part of the problem with the so called Left nowadays. Since McGovern and the early Carter years, the so called Democratic Left has become super Hawkish. That is not my concept or idea of what the Left should be foreign policywise. And honestly, it's a big turn off for many liberal voters.
