Well he sure has shown leadership by sitting in Congress for 25 years never passing any laws. No one says he needs to be so involved with every aspect of the presidency that he's sweeping up corners, but you'd think someone who built an entire campaign stoking populist angst and threatening to "break up the banks" would have assembled a team of advisors able to cobble together a policy more coherent than
this. As of today, he is a professional lawmaker, yet the guy can't create passing legislation, if his lengthy political tenure has taught us anything. And if his presidential candidacy has taught us, he can't create a coalition of people who can at least school him on foreign policy or how to convert his giant ideas into something that can get accomplished.
Sorry, but yelling about what's wrong isn't leadership. Figuring out how to
fix problems, whether you know personally or you delegate to experts, is part of the job. Bernie Sanders not knowing shit isn't a strong point, and you're going to have a hard time selling me on that argument.
I've heard the stump speech and agree with it largely in principle, but I feel very certain his presidency would have been horrifically ineffective.
