I’m an 80’s kid, and don’t remember the specific rhetoric, but my question has always been: if you dont believe in an organization, why join it and try to ruin it for everyone? Why be president if you think government is bad?

I mean, I think the KKK is bad and should go away, but I’m not going to go try to be it’s leader.

OTOH, there is the adage that says that nobody that wants power should hold it - that the best leader is the reluctant one.

He has some magnificent quotes: contrary to the president "with the best words" he was actually a great public orator.
