I’d like to see William Barr as AG in a second term, assuming the President wins decisively, and with coattails.
I believe that due to enemies in congress, the bureaucracy, and the courts, the executive branch has been badly hobbled during President Trump’s entire first term.
He has done an amazing job considering, and he has been a good sport about it, but I think the constrains on him have been far worse than he lets on.
A good leader doesn’t whine and make excuses - a good leader puts on a brave face and does the best he can - and that is exactly what President Trump has done.
He will never admit how close he came to being destroyed - that would be showing weakness.
My point is that a decisive re-election landslide will offer him a second term completely unlike his first term. He will have a mandate from the people. He will have much friendlier courts. Congress will truly have his back.
President Trump’s second term will really be his first opportunity to push through his agenda - and it will be the first opportunity for his department heads to reign in their bureaucracies and purge deep state obstructionists.
I believe the President, the AG, and other cabinet chiefs have had to deal with impossible power struggles these past years and have had to pick their battles.
I believe they are just trying to hold on until help arrives from We The People on November 3, 2020.
We have to give him a decisive victory this time so that he and his team can unleash the full authority of the executive branch.
In the right circumstances, AG Barr will do just fine.
It is nice to read some intelligent comments for a change.
Thank you!
While I agree with you IN PRINCIPLE, I keep hearing these long-ago familiar voices in my head...
“AGAIN?! That trick never works!”
“This time for sure...!”
