At the end of the article, this: “You want somebody who is surrounded by good people, and becomes more thoughtful than he’s been so far,” Gergen added.”
We know that Trump has surrounded himself with “yes” men from his dust up with his old friend, Roger Stone. Trump will fire anyone he disagrees with.
And we do need someone who’s “more thoughtful than he’s (Trump’s) been so far.” Way more thoughtful. Like someone who can easily handle gotcha questions, for example, and someone who doesn’t belittle anyone he disagrees with no matter how petty the disagreement.
In other words, we need someone presidential, not a boorish oaf who’s an even bigger narcissist than our current president, something I didn’t believe was even possible.
How about Mr. Rodgers? It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood.
How about Mr. science?
How about me? I'm very thoughtful.

Meaning he wants Jeb Bush.
Interesting opinion. Mine is diametrically opposed.
Trump has sounded the alarm that our country and our culture's foundations are ridden with termites and other vermin, is about to collapse the structure, and "presidential" has been totally ineffective to prevent it.
The "progressives" TOLD us that that their goal was a fundamental transformation of the U.S.
How has that worked out?
To save The U.S. Republic, I'll accept boorish and a narcissist who displays those qualities in opposition to the last 7 years of the dark side. I will similarly fight to prevent takeover by Los Estados Unidos Mexicanos," directly or by means of invasion by just asymmetrical war.
Read Jorge Ramos' book, The Latino Wave, by Jorge Ramos, The Latino Wave, How Hispanics are Transforming Politics in America, 2005.
That was written ten years ago, and the Mexican Agent, Jorge Ramos, I believe, still has not registered with the U.S. government as a foreign agent.
If you are an American Citizen, legally born or naturalized, this book will scare the daylights out of you. I started reading it only after Ramos' brazen boorish appearance at the recent Trump event, and it may yet be the second book, ever, out of thousands in my life, that I deliberately don't want to finish. That would include Mein Kampf, as well as all the Communist Manifestos.
I will forever refer to (Ramos' Book) as Ramos' Mexican Aztlan Manifesto, How to Conquer and Occupy America Without Conventional War.
As an aside, these were not available on line when I first read and studied them more than a few decades ago :
