Well, the question is, what would prevent them from doing things similar to what they've done before? And I think that's the thing that the president and the Republican Party should worry about.
There's no doubt about that. But I also want to say this. You know, all presidents sort of feed off of perceptions of the person who came before and they want to position against what people found lacking in the person that came before.
What we need is more humility. We need more of the ability to listen to each other, to treat each other respectfully. I think that's what the Democratic Party needs. That's what our country needs.
