As was Schwarzenegger

As is every political candidate. Tailored personas meant to attract our hopes and dreams for sanity. When they lose, it's as a hero and we tell ourselves that we supported the good fight. When they win and inevitably disappoint (being just public relations for the status quo), they're demonized as the villain to contain and channel outrage into support for the next round of a manufactured rivalry.
Once again. It's the New York Times.
