A virtual Richard Nixon is the hero in my first novel. I don't think any of today's current politicians are remotely comparable to him. Of course he did wrong - but he also accomplished many improvements for ordinary Americans during his time as President - the EPA, actual desegregation of Southern K-12 schools, the attempted solution to the inflation.
