    Yes, for sure. While everyone else was in realpolitik mode, it seemed clear to me you don’t start a negotiation with a bad faith opponent by ceding your strongest position.

    Obama governed as a centrist, and while I agree he probably escaped unscathed without any long-term ill will because of it, he squandered a ton of opportunities. Oh, and we got Trump as a reaction to the GOP’s boogeyman propaganda anyway.
