Nixon, Ford and Regan were smart and good conversationalists. The Republican and thus Conservative philosophy is based on facts whereas the Democratic / liberal "philosophy" is based on winning at all costs by means of catering to every semi-warm body that really cannot make it fair and square.
nixon talks to off load, not really to hear what haldamen thinks. must have been both an honor to be the President's sounding board, but also a bit of a pain...like: uhm, do you really want to hear what I think, or not?
