I think it’s going to require a little bit less navel-gazing and a little less whining and being in fetal positions.
I am the president of all Americans, including those who did not vote for me. I have to consider what’s best for them, even the ones who don’t like me.
That then makes them more interested in appeals by folks who say, 'The reason you don't feel respected is because women have been doing this, or this group has been doing that.' And that is not a healthy place to be.
I think that approach is a smart, measured approach, designed to address a very particular problem in a very particular moment in time.
