A Wasted Presidency
June 10, 2020 at 11:48 pm EDT By Taegan Goddard


Rich Lowry: “If he loses in November, it won’t because he pursued a big legislative reform that was a bridge too far politically. It won’t be because he adopted a creative and unorthodox policy mix that alienated his own side. It won’t even be because he was overwhelmed by events, challenging though they’ve been.”

“It will mostly be because he took his presidency and needlessly drove into the ground, 280 characters at a time.”
