I suspect you are absolutely correct. This guy had an incredible chance to become great. He's blown it all for communist ideology and glory among the decayed Left. What a waste! I obviously don't support him and never have. But, I can see an opportunity for him to mend his ways and get to the end of his term with his legacy intact. Apparently, he isn't smart enough to understand that his legacy is all that matters and that the communist thing isn't going over very well with America. Clinton figured this out early on and moved quickly to the center. He was re-elected as a result (I didn't support him either)...

But from his POV he hasn’t blown anything. He has moved the agenda forward by leaps compared to what the Clintons accomplished in 8 years. As for how well it’s going over; he was elected. He and all of his Marxist fellow travelers expect setbacks. Then they regroup and keep pushing it. This has been going on for over 100 years now.
