50. And it was a markedly successful one term

Mon Oct 20, 2025, 09:53 PM

Oct 20

especially considering he only had the house and senate for two years of that term and with very small margins. Just imagine what he could have accomplished if he had both houses for all four years. His handling of the economy was brilliant and often original.

What was particularly sad to me is that even among Democrats, he wasn't getting the recognition he most definitely deserved. I guess we have to leave that to history.
