    I remember they said that one big reason W was elected was because he seemed like a guy that you could sit down and have a beer with. (That’s an objectively terrible criteria for choosing a president, by the way.)

    And of course, that’s exactly the opposite impression you get from Trump, who thinks he’s better than you and wouldn’t talk to you in a million years if he didn’t think it would greatly benefit himself.

    I don’t know where I was going with that. Just remembering how things were, and comparing two bottom-of-the-barrel presidents who unnecessarily got us into wars.
