An excellent commentary: Yes or no?

Larry,
If you hire someone to paint your living room but everybody in the house wants a different color and complains about the tarp over the TV during Springer and won’t move out the way so you can get started....well....I guess he would be a failed painter.
I can agree Wilder came in swinging wilderly but, he was elected by an overwhelming majority of people who wanted “change”. They got change. Problem is, none of them knew what kind’ve change they wanted and none of them knew what kind’ve change they’d get.
So now, nobodies happy. This is usually the result when people put all their HOPE for CHANGE in the hands of politicians and government.
R. Smith, you are a gas! Wilder came to the office highly touted, arriving in the perfect position to do some really great things. But, he spent 90% of his time in Attack Mode—simply going after people he didn’t like personally.
If I hire someone to paint my living room brand new, I do not want them to wreck the bathroom & kitchen in the process. I just want the good job in the living room; what I pay them to do. No damage.
An opportunity wasted—A Legacy of Failure.
