2. the ultimate legacy of Obama

The next time that America has a successful conservative President -- at least successful in convincing us that he can do some real good and not simply destroy liberalism -- that President will have the temperament, the respect for legal precedent (especially the rule of law) and diplomatic protocol, and respect for ordinary decencies that characterize OBAMA.

Think of Eisenhower. Eisenhower at the least chose to enforce rulings of the Supreme Court that prohibited discrimination even if he had at most lukewarm support for desegregation.

That next conservative President will excoriate President Trump as the corrupt, cruel, reckless, unprincipled demagogue that he is.
