hillary democrats that are going to be putting the squeeze on this president to start bombing and start acting more belligerent in the middle east, and he may not have any choice but to give them what they want. it seems like the leverage with congress is gone, and that it s gone not just with the republicans, because 84% believe he can t lead, republicans. but 61% of the independents, chris, say he cannot lead. one in five democrats agree. look, here s the thing for this president. he has tried to outlast and outwait all of the problems that have beset his administration, figuring that simply by doing nothing, the story would move on and he would be okay and he could get back to high personal approval ratings with people complaining about his policies. that s been his m.o. throughout his presidency. unfortunately, now when you re in the year six, when things are stacked up to this point, you can t just keep moving on down the trail. and i think the future holds for him with this d
