“President Trump is hardly the first U.S. president to call on the European allie…” — Ivo Daalder

I think George H.W. Bush was confronted with some huge challenges - the invasion of Kuwait, the fall of the Berlin Wall, the fall of the Soviet Union - that he managed with great aplomb.

I think George H. W. Bush, who I had lots of disagreements with, remarkably managed the end of the Cold War in a way that history will look back at and say, 'Wow.'

I think when the military ousts a sitting president, even if the sitting president is deeply unpopular, that's the definition of a coup.

I follow the Cubs. Only when they play the Nationals do I have a conflict.
