He also said Russia Collusion (hoax) was worse than Watergate.

It's safe to say he's an idiot

You mean good 'ol Carl?

But yes. Everything that Trump does Bernstein can parallel to Nixon. And he actually gets airtime on CNN.

It's amazing how Carl has piggybacked a 40+ year career on one story despite being wrong on everything else in his career

The people that remember and pay attention are not moved by this and the others just have no clue what is being said when they say this.

It has very little impact and is used as part of the Dem strategy to win back the white house. They have nothing else.

Their policies are all failures and kill the economy. They know it and so have to attack.

It's all a deflection to get the story of of Biden. They know Biden is guilty as sin and they heard him brag about it.

He's the watergate expert.

Carl yearns for the glory days of the story that once made him oh so briefly relevant. I mean, for Pete’s sake, Dustin Hoffman played him in the friggin’ movie.

When every new topic gets "gate" attached to it the meaning is lost. Fatigue sets in.

Americans are growing tired of the constant BS. Get to work on the problems in our country.

The irony is that illegal spying on a political opponent (Trump) by the administration of a sitting president (Obama) is more akin to Watergate than anything else these bozos try to equate to Watergate.

There is probably an actual Watergate level story out there. But, sadly, our MSM is so biased they can't even feign the objectivity necessary to chase the story.

Carl Bernstein is the Rick Astley of journalist. He hit a huge story, then spent the next 40 years living off it and bringing it up every chance he gets

All of which was made possible by the fact that Ben Bradlee had a raging hard-on for Richard Nixon. There was a personal, visceral animus between the two men.

Without that underlying dynamic, Watergate is a third-rate burglary that nobody has ever heard of.

Reliving past days of glory. Over and over and over.

It's like some golfer in his 80's recalling that time when he was 35 years old and he striped his drive down the fairway, got a lucky roll and won the long-drive contest in a scramble, and now remembers it like he won the city amateur championship against guys who all later turned pro.
