1. I don't think there was a good way to handle it. It was always going to be a cluster****. That's not to say Biden deserves a gold medal as opposed to a participation trophy but I don't see anyone knocking this pullout out of the park.

2. Iran Hostage Crisis came right along with the stagflation crisis and telling people to tighten their belts so putting that all on one humiliating thing is a stretch, especially when just getting out of Afghanistan has been a thing people have wanted for years. We're also decades into the malaise Carter was bitching about so that humiliation probably had a different ring than this one.

3. Not even saying he won't be a one term. He's probably going to be pretty underwhelming but this probably won't be what kills him compared to all the other **** sandwiches being shoved into his face.
