My reading of this president is he seems to go with his judgment and the judgment of his team and then builds as much support as possible,

From reading too much, and sleeping too little, his brain dried up on him and he lost his judgment.

Truman got some of the lowest poll numbers any president ever got. Now when we look back on Truman, he's the highest ranked of the post-World War II presidents.

I don't see Bush's visit having any adverse direct effect on Nussle. But when a president comes into a state during the general election campaign, it can remind voters and sustain and reinforce the bad mood.

There's a point at which as president you can't game out everything. You've got to go to the core of your own way of doing things. This is a nominee, I would guess, in whom he has confidence and senses in his own mind that she has got the qualities for the job.

It is only requisite, for me to say to you, that the President places great reliance upon your skill, judgment and intimate knowledge.
