If you go in with a plan to make a point, and you know what your narrative is going to be already, in our mind, it's probably not worth telling.
If you want to be a great leader, you have to put the interest of the country above your own. I would like to think that true leadership is not just telling people what they want to hear but helping them understand things, so you can explain to them what you think is best, and then they can judge you on that.
I don't know but maybe it's fair to say that some of the responsibility lies with the American people and not just on the leaders.
