All things being equal, if we could simulate the same scenario, he has a lot more difficult task. He's elected to swim six individual events, as opposed to what I elected to do, which was four.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I'm confident that, were I mayor, I would do some things differently than he has. But I think there's a world of difference between him and his immediate predecessor.
President Obama has a strong record of doing what is best for America and Florida, and he built it by spending more time worrying about what his decisions would mean for the people than for his political fortunes.
Any time a president is re-elected, he has a little more political clout to get things done.
Governors, all things being equal, I'd rather have a governor in the White House than somebody that's not had that experience.
He has to do the heavy lifting and the windows and the wash, and also protect the president.
I believe that if you want to be president of the United States, you run for president. You don't run for president with some eject button in the cockpit that allows you to go on an exit ramp if it doesn't work out.
The decathlon includes ten separate events and they all matter. You can't work on just one of them.
You can't exactly bake a man to your specifications. Most of all, one shouldn't alienate a candidate. A hybrid of Einstein, Tarzan and Inge Meysel doesn't exist. Besides, the images of politicians in the media aren't always accurate. I've had my share of experiences in that regard.
You can lead a bureaucrat to water, but you can't make him think.
This is a candidate who never even thought about policy. What Trump represents is pure willpower and the notion of breaking through the system.
