Good piece.
He’s quieter, and, until about two years ago, seemed much, well, wimpier. He was a bit wishy-washy on domestic issues, and he wasn’t particularly outspoken on international ones.
It is the third way triangulation that had people considering him like Clinton. However, given that apt description, perhaps a better comparison would be with George Bush. George Herbert Walker Bush. He was quieter than Reagan, Clinton, and his son. He was often labelled a wimp. He was very wishy-washy on domestic issues. His strong suit was navigating international diplomacy, although he was not a bold leader in moving the world the way Reagan was, or his son is. And like Blair, he had an affinity for international organizations.

In the way he stood with America through the Iraq crisis, one can find evidence that George W. is not the only Anglo leader who learned from the mistakes of George H. W.

Get an editor, Billy.

Third way triangulation is mostly what caused people to consider him like Clinton.
