"I do believe I am speaking for the vast majority..."
You might someday see that GWB "Rope-A-Doped" pretty good in real time, plus purposely played the fool, ala Robert Grave's "I, Claudius."
Let none of us forget that it may have been Gore for two terms or Kerry on his first, going for seconds.
lol...I always appreciate a faux realist. Your survivor mentality of..."today's a good day- because it could have been worse"...is a dim light, as compared to..."today's a good day, because we have the surpassed expectations." Our fools never suffer their decisions- it is the Brave & the Bold, who withstand the onslaught, as presented- by Our enemies and Our fools...
