Michael Gerson: Hillary ‘Is Rather Nixonian When It Comes To Secrecy and Resentment’

SCHIEFFER: “What — what’s your sense of it right now, Mike?”
GERSON: “Well, I think that the scandals that surround Hillary Clinton could be a trap of sorts. Republicans have a huge reform effort they need to undergo to reach women, to reach minorities, to reach working class voters. And just to attack Hillary Clinton as Nixonian — and she is rather Nixonian when it comes to secrecy and resentment and other issues — that could — they could be drawn into a conflict that Hillary Clinton wins. People forget that Richard Nixon won two presidential elections because he was viewed as smart, knowledgeable  around the world and tough. And that’s often how people view Hillary Clinton. I don’t think the scandal charge would be enough. The Republicans would have to put their own house in order to appeal on a very difficult national map.”
NOONAN: "Even Nixonian."
