calvin coolidge talked more than this guy. historians might have to record he might have been bested by a guy, a president, by the way, who adheres to no such rules of behavior? it s funny, basically, our public life has become a bar fight, and who knew it would be the star wars cantina bar fight. it s unquestionably mueller comes from an entirely different ethos than the incumbent president. he comes from the world of george h.w. bush from dean atchison, sort of the a y, as y say, figures you can absolutely imagine having two martinis at lunch then deciding to project power across the world. and that world had its limitations, but it had a compelling sense of public duty. and essentially lly what we sas week was the former director of the fbi, a man who s given his life to protect the country, arguing in an antiquated way,
transition of power. so to some, that s going to sound alarmist and dramatic and overly dramatic, and then you say, well, michael cohen knows how donald trump acts and he never can ever admit losing and he never you know, you can picture a scenario where he would struggle to concede. well, firstly, this is pure speculation from michael cohen s part. yes, he s looking at the man he s known for a while and guessing what might happen. ly say, in the final days, final weeks of the 2016 campaign, i went to a bunch of president trump s rallies, and he stoked this feeling that if he loses, it would be a stolen election, that the system was crooked and rigged and all sorts of adjectives that he used about it. and a lot of people did believe, polls showed this , a lot of people did believe that if they were to lose, that the election would not have been on the up and up. i am worried this is becoming self-fulfilling. meaning that we so spin ourselves up on this stuff, that actually you
