richard nixon is the most unlikely comeback story. right? he loses in 1960. he loses in 1962 for the governor of california. like not even president. says you're never going to have nixon to kick around again. i'm going back to my law firm. and then 1968 he's back, but he's back as a very different candidate. again, this goes to sort of putting our current moment in context, thinking about the power of image, thinking about the power of media, and how the same politician might repackage themselves and also take advantage of a very different moment in american history. because, of course, between 1960 and 1968 so much changes in terms of how geo politics, domestic politics, grassroots politics and culture. richard nixon comes back not as the same richard nixon of 1960 -- and one of the things i would invite all of you guys to do if you're interested in this this, in presidential campaigns and elections, is to visit the website hosted by the american museum of the moving image in new york called the living room candidate which archives all of the television ads

my first book was on richard nixon. it was a book called nixon's shadow, the history of image. it was not so much a biography of nixon as a study of nixon in the american imagination, not a story of what he did so much as a story of what nixon anmeant. many were concerned with who was the real nixon? some of you may recall nixon was always being trotted out in the new version, there was always talk of the new nixon, the old hatchet man being left behind, the statesman, nixon, man of the people, always a new image being brought out sometimes by nixon but sometimes forged and fabricated by his audiences. this led me to think about imagemaking in national politics generally and this became a central critique of nixon certainly, were our politicians phony, manufactured? but also a critique of politics in the 20th century in our age of media where it seems so possible for politicians along with their consultants, spin doctors, handlers to present images and messages designed to give us what we want rather is and perhaps what they really where. concern with authenticity hamas you mig

pollsters that you need to go back to richard nixon's impeachment days to find that kind of gap.re is a difference in the unpopularity. trump is even more unpopular with the public. clinton is unpopular with voters. the party, they wished she were a better candidate, but they can live with her. that is different than the republican party. i might point out, i think susan is right, they might see trump as the nominee. one of the few advantages of old age is experienced. i covered that 1976 convention, and it is for them today. when you get to a convention that is open or unsettled going in, contested, it is a universe of itself. you don't know what is going to happen. rulebooks get thrown out. let's assume donald trump loses and the candidate becomes someone else. what does that do to donald trump, what would he do, and what impact might that have on the general election? al: it would split the party. but these guys have been through this year, a year-and-a-half, and then some guy that lives in cleveland, we are going to canada to him, he would go over very poorly. if they turn to
