Great leaders lead by inspiration, but with judicious use of intimidation and manipulation as the moment requires.

Trump is all intimidation and manipulation.

that we're at a point where America is in desperate need of positive inspiration. Our leaders should pepper their speeches and interviews with more positive talking points and not just all negative stuff and blasting the opposition. I think the press tends to drag our guys into that mode.....because tRump.

That characteristic was one of the many things I admired about President Obama and his administration......

I'd really like to see the popular media say it, too, but if Democrats keep bringing it up (and get over their reluctance to repeat themselves), perhaps the media will pick up the point. Because it's important.

Emphasizing the positives of Social Security, good health care, public education, the work immigrants do, environmental protections, and many more categories where Democrats have led the nation in the right direction.

This was his response on Twitter to someone who said they wished he were still a US Atty. Like so many others, I'm a HUGE fan.

Mr. Bharara is wise, intelligent and brave, but he's also crafty when he needs to be. I hope he decides to run for office because he'd make a fine leader.
