but 'showmanship' is just about all Trump has. He knows how to capture and dominate cameras. I just hope we can finally prove to him that there is such a thing as bad publicity.

Frankly, I don't personally have a problem with a 'policy wonk' in the White House. Those are the folks that figure out answers and get things done, something that Hillary has been doing for a lot of years.
