...Well, tsk-tsk and ahem! But part of the problem with editorial writers - and, truth to tell, columnists like me - is a narrow definition of the qualifications necessary to be President. It helps to be a warrior, for one thing. It helps to be able to take a punch and deliver one - even, sometimes, a sucker punch. A certain familiarity with life as it is lived by normal Americans is useful; a distance from the élite precincts of academia, where unrepentant terrorists can sip wine in good company, is essential.

It stagnates because the characters just aren’t truly relatable and can’t evoke sympathy. They are all narrow variations of the same solipsistic, narcissistic former athlete, taken with himself and caught up in his own musings. They constantly lose themselves in self-indulgent speculation on history and politics and never engage wholly in their emotion. There are no evident reasons, nothing rooted in the characters that spell...
