And the irony is that had he been sort of a leader with a vision and

had he cared about sort of building a Republican Party that could last beyond his years.

he would have, I think, governed a lot differently in the first six months.

How they, you know, when he was so anxious, and maybe this has to do with him feeling that he waited too long to do things in the first term, and maybe it's mortality getting to him, and he's afraid that, you know, he doesn't have a full four years.

I don't know what it is, but how he's gone about this, where he's obsessed with quickly putting his name on things,

Quickly being able to get notoriety, desperate for a Nobel Peace Prize, desperate to see his name associated with some sort of legacy thing like putting, you know, right now people are up in arms about the renaming of the Kennedy Center.

Well, the voters knew who they didn't want as president, and the voters were willing to roll the dice with an unknown or roll the dice with what they thought was a known quantity the second time, right?

The first time

Hey, let's disrupt things.

We kind of know what a Hillary Clinton presidency is going to look like.

We have no idea what a Trump presidency is going to look like.

And we're kind of in a cranky, grumpy mood.
