I seem to recall that he just wants pictures and charts, anyway. Maybe his handlers are simpler than we previously thought?

They probably just hand him pictures of things with "good" and "bad" stamped on them...

Putin "Good"

Australia "Bad"

Trump can barely read so that makes sense.

Chasing away talent is a sure sign of shitty management.

The fact that republican can retain control of both chambers of congress meant this country really doesn't deserve better and have no right to complaint when things get much worse.

I'm unsure why you quoted me in making your point, which has nothing to do with mine.

Looks causally related to me.

Chasing away talent -> poor quality government is your assertion.

His assertion is that the GOP's control has led to many things, amongst them is chasing away talent, and that it's the fault of the country for doing so.

No. My point is that a talented manager attracts talent to surround them. And the corollary is that is talented folks are leaving, the manager may wish to re-examine his or her approach to leadership.

Now, it can be argued that the quality of governance thereafter falls, and oftentimes it does. But bureaucracies have a way of evening out these things.

And, I'm not so sure that leadership separates upon partisan lines.
