I don’t dislike him but from an all-around steward of the party (which is a legitimate function of the President in PoliSci terms), he was lacking.

We go through spurts of generational pushes into politics usually after a crisis. Watergate/Vietnam leaders informed most of the last 50 years (Biden is the last really)

Trump’s ascension has spurred another wave of disgust and copycats from the next-gen looking to get in the mix.

No disagreement - I'm pointing out a passive effect, and you're right to question "what did he actively do?" -- nm - Roger More Aug 23, 06:54 1
