Obama really should have timed it like this. May have resulted in a much better decade for Dems.
Wasn’t quite that simple of course. I’d generally prefer presidents not try to rush extremely important, sensitive, risky operations so they can be convenient for election season if they succeed.
That and were we anywhere near ready to pull it off in September? Still a fascinating hypothetical, but I feel like in reality it wasn’t even a possibility. I can’t see them waiting 8 months because they felt like it.
