This article focuses on several domestic and foreign policy issues related to the U.S. The Republican Party has nominated Richard M. Nixon for the upcoming presidential elections. The party is well aware that the Republican Party is today a minority party and that Nixon is not the strongest nominee they could name in terms of winning Democratic and independent votes. But they assume that disaffection with the U.S. President Lyndon B. Johnson and Vice President Hubert Humphrey Administration is so massive that they can win even with the old loser. The Republican gamble of nominating Nixon rests on the assumption that the Democrats will nominate Humphrey.
