    Pretty much. If you read his history, he faced no real political opposition. His “opposition” amounts to facing a Democrat in a state assembly primary once. He didn’t even run against a Republican. This is how un-battle-tested he is. We shouldn’t be surprised someone who lived a comparatively sheltered life and who has never faced real adversity would completely capitulate and fold like a lawn chair at the first sign of struggle. With someone as wholly unprepared for facing real adversity as he is, it doesn’t matter what he truly believes because he will not have the moral courage nor the tenacity of will nor the steadfastness to endure and overcome the forces that will do everything in their power to prevent what he wants from coming to fruition.

    You don’t need to read a single leftist text to know that people who have never been punched in the face completely crumble when they get punched in the face for the first time. “Everybody has a plan until they get punched in the face.” We’re seeing him getting punched in the face and watching him crumble under the pressure in real time.
