Why did Richard Nixon get himself so entangled in Watergate?
What will be an ideal response?
This is a tough question, but most students will connect Nixon's style as president with his downfall. The text describes Nixon as reclusive, vindictive, and highly suspicious of those who disagreed with him. He surrounded himself with a small group of insiders. The text describes Nixon as having a siege mentality that led him to keep an enemies list to punish his opponents. Watergate and the subsequent cover-up grew out of this.
