I posit that Joe Biden has no appetite for exercising his soft power under the bully pulpit. He never challenges stare decisis.
He does not fight hard for results against the advice of his legal counsel. His executive orders are easily overturned by successors.
America’s id is not satiated. He does not capture the testosterone driven slice of the electorate. That is a large and powerful portion of the electorate.
In November, because of the hubris of an elderly man, and the aggression of the American body politic, Donald trump, the caricature of a man, will be the 47th President of the United States.
Large and powerful, yes. But powerful enough? Let’s find out.
Personally I prefer a system with robust checks and balances that prevent idiots from using it to enhance their own glory at the expense of their people.
