I actually think he'd do a great job. I just don't think it's likely to happen due to the constitutional requirements, which would never be changed in a normal political environment, much less in this one.

I mean he was kinda milquetoast, but also, California is like, fucking impossible to manage. I don't think people realize how strange and departed interests are in Sacramento. It's a clusterfuck because California is so variable in its territory, people, and ideologies.

I've appreciated his efforts to use his platform to try to be a voice of reason to other Republicans in recent years. He's flawed, but he's a legit role model with a head on his shoulders.

Yeah, I've never really understood his fascination with Repubs. He doesn't carry their idealogy. It's kinda weird. He's like a baby swan who the first politician he saw was a Republican and so he's a Republican. He even says as much in some interview.

Let's remember that a lot of people think of Trump doing a great job.

Never again.
