What's with the Lincoln train tour? He doesn't need to do that, he already won the election. His adoring fans continue to gush over him and his detractors continue to speak out against him.
He's been reaching out to middle of the road republicans and journalists lately. Why? I can't shake the feeling that there's a bigger plan in the works and he wants his support to be very high before it starts taking a big nose dive over his actions.
I didn't notice all this until my wife pointed it out to me a couple of days ago, and now it's been on my brain ever since.

He will no more unite this nation than did Lincoln (except by force) .. no matter how much the media spins it otherwise.
