re: #129 gwangung
Yeah, having good ideas isn’t enough. It’s being able to wheedle the legislative side to do your bidding. It’s being flexible enough to meet with changing events. It’s being quick enough to come up with the right ideas.
That’s what a lot of people don’t get. I mean LBJ probably wasn’t our most personally left wing president but he probably got more progressive legislation accomplished than many more progressive than him would have since he understood the legislative process.
