Recognizing someone's flaws doesn't mean one hates him. Treating mistakes with humor instead of anger is a healthy outlet. Behavioral expectations for elected officials should be higher than those for middle school students. I pray daily for our President to be successful.
Frank seems to think that being rude and immoral is an asset in a politician because people who are decent human beings haven't been successful.
What he doesn't realize is that correlation is not causation. Being nice is not the reason the people he listed didn't succeed. And being a complete jerk is not the reason that Trump got to be President.
The ONLY reason he won is that he ran against the worst candidate in the history of the Republic, and that a small band of people on "our side," decided they liked the idea of having "our own" dictator wannabe.
Being "not Hillary," and "our own Obama" were his keys to success.
Not his gross immaturity.
(Though Frank, for some strange reason, identifies with that part of his style
).
