Richard M. Nixon Campaign Button, 1968
Add to SetSummary
Richard M. Nixon was a three-time Republican Party presidential nominee. In 1960, he narrowly lost to John F. Kennedy--and it appeared his political career was over. In 1968, however, as TV news depicted grim images of war and violence, this slogan assured voters that they could turn to Nixon as a capable and trustworthy leader. Nixon won the election.
