    I accepted after Obama that every President is going to do things I find reprehensible. It’s hard because I strongly believe in doing the right thing even if there is a cost. But as President you have to balance one kind of harm against another, sometimes using knowledge so secret you can’t justify your decision to the public.

    It becomes an act is faith that they are making the best choices they can, while also acknowledging the reality that they are human and will get it wrong sometimes.

    I have to say, though, that running against Trump makes supporting flawed actual humans so much easier.
