In the immortal words of the late Muddy Waters, you can't spend what you ain't got and you can't lose what you never had.The lifeboat phrase there, of course, is when Glenn Thrush places this \"unifying power\" in his office, rather than in the president* himself. Again, however, this particular occupant of the office has demonstrated right from his inaugural address that, even if he believed in the power of his office to unify, he wouldn't know where to look for it. In that particular event, he'd be a guy who tried to turn on the lights of his office with the taps in the bathroom sink. But this most recent appeal for the vaunted presidential \"pivot,\" which is likely to prove as vain as all the other ones have been, demonstrates a phenomenon common to many political observers besides Glenn Thrush, and a phenomenon that did not begin with elevation of this particular president*.\n\tAdvertisement - Continue Reading Below\n\t\n\nIn many places where the powerful people gather, there is soul-shaking terror at the prospect of a \"failed presidency.\" The sources of this unreasoning fear are twofold\u20141) the gradual accrual of power in the executive branch in the years since World War I, which hit hyperdrive after World War II, and 2) a lingering PTSD over the events that led to the resignation of Richard Nixon. Now, for me, sweeping History's Yard Waste out of the White House was a demonstration that popular constitutional government can work the way it was designed to work. But there remains a strong institutional train of thought that the those events, including Nixon's resignation, were somehow tragic and dangerous, and that similar situations should be avoided if at all possible in the future. (Much of the Nixon revisionism in the 1980s and 1990s was based on this belief.) \n\tAdvertisement - Continue Reading Below\n\t\n\n\n\tAdvertisement - Continue Reading Below\n\t\n\n This is how Ronald Reagan skated on the crimes of the Iran-Contra affair. In Mark Hertsgaard's study of the press in the Reagan era, On Bended Knee, Ben Bradlee, the hero editor of Watergate, says flatly that another \"failed presidency\" would be disastrous, and that Katherine Graham, the hero publisher of Watergate, \"called for a retreat\" in her newspaper's aggressiveness in the wake of Watergate and the rise of the Reagan Administration. You can see this at work as well in The New York Times's decision to bury the story of the George W. Bush administration's illegal surveillance program so as \"not to affect\" the 2004 election, even though that is precisely what that sort of story is supposed to do.This is more than mere deference to power. A lot of institutions are powerful but still subject to an aggressive press and a skeptical public. But the presidency has grown to the point where a failed president shakes the comfort zone down to its foundations. Too many people want a unifying Daddy in the White House so much that, if a president is not up to the job, those people will create that unifying Daddy out of shoddy material and wishful thinking. As Hertsgaard wrote, reflecting on the presidency of Ronald Reagan: \"\u2026 a time when the national political debate was dominated by a bundle of ideas that almost without exception were contradicted by objective facts, common sense, or both.\"And Reagan, at least, seemed somewhat amiable. One thing we can take confidence in is that, with this president*, it's not going to last. The material is too shoddy, and nobody can wish hard enough.Respond to this post on the Esquire Politics Facebook page.","wordCount":719}</script>

<p class="p2">When in the name of god has this president* demonstrated the power to unify anything except division and anger? "Recapture" implies that he had it in the first place, or that he's shown any indication that he ever wanted it. In the immortal words of the late Muddy Waters, you can't spend what you ain't got and you can't lose what you never had.</p><p class="p2">The lifeboat phrase there, of course, is when Glenn Thrush places this "unifying power" in his office, rather than in the president* himself. Again, however, this particular occupant of the office has demonstrated right from his inaugural address that, even if he believed in the power of his office to unify, he wouldn't know where to look for it. In that particular event, he'd be a guy who tried to turn on the lights of his office with the taps in the bathroom sink. But this most recent appeal for the vaunted presidential "pivot," which is likely to prove as vain as all the other ones have been, demonstrates a phenomenon common to many political observers besides Glenn Thrush, and a phenomenon that did not begin with elevation of this particular president*.</p><p class="p2"></p><div class="embed embed-pullquote embed-pullquote-align-center">

<p class="p3">In many places where the powerful people gather, there is soul-shaking terror at the prospect of a "failed presidency." The sources of this unreasoning fear are twofold—1) the gradual accrual of power in the executive branch in the years since World War I, which hit hyperdrive after World War II, and 2) a lingering PTSD over the events that led to the resignation of Richard Nixon. Now, for me, sweeping History's Yard Waste out of the White House was a demonstration that popular constitutional government can work the way it was designed to work. But there remains a strong institutional train of thought that the those events, including Nixon's resignation, were somehow tragic and dangerous, and that similar situations should be avoided if at all possible in the future. (Much of the Nixon revisionism in the 1980s and 1990s was based on this belief.) </p><p class="p3"></p><div class="embed embed-image embed-image-center embed-image-medium">

<p class="p3"> This is how Ronald Reagan skated on the crimes of the Iran-Contra affair. In Mark Hertsgaard's study of the press in the Reagan era, <em data-redactor-tag="em" data-verified="redactor">On Bended Knee, </em>Ben Bradlee, the hero editor of Watergate, says flatly that another "failed presidency" would be disastrous, and that Katherine Graham, the hero publisher of Watergate, "called for a retreat" in her newspaper's aggressiveness in the wake of Watergate and the rise of the Reagan Administration. You can see this at work as well in <em data-redactor-tag="em" data-verified="redactor">The</em> <em data-redactor-tag="em" data-verified="redactor">New York Times's </em>decision to bury the story of the George W. Bush administration's illegal surveillance program so as "not to affect" the 2004 election, even though that is precisely what that sort of story is supposed to do.</p><p class="p3">This is more than mere deference to power. A lot of institutions are powerful but still subject to an aggressive press and a skeptical public. But the presidency has grown to the point where a failed president shakes the comfort zone down to its foundations. Too many people want a unifying Daddy in the White House so much that, if a president is not up to the job, those people will create that unifying Daddy out of shoddy material and wishful thinking. As Hertsgaard wrote, reflecting on the presidency of Ronald Reagan:</p><blockquote class="body-blockquote"><p class="body-text"> "…[it was] a time when the national political debate was dominated by a bundle of ideas that almost without exception were contradicted by objective facts, common sense, or both."</p></blockquote><p class="body-text">And Reagan, at least, seemed somewhat amiable. One thing we can take confidence in is that, with this president*, it's not going to last. The material is too shoddy, and nobody can wish hard enough.</p><p class="body-text">
