It wasn't really unique before him. He is the reason for the identity of modern Republicans as the party of the bible thumping, bigoted southerners. Before Nixon, neither party really tried to court that demographic. Nixon changed the game and is responsible for most of the modern political tribalism.
Richard Nixon always looks less polished than JFK of his era, because Slicky Dick refused to wear makeup for TV and pictures, thinking it was woman's stuff.

It's funny, I've seen so many caricatures of Nixon that I forgot what he actually looked like.
