    Biden is going to be remembered similarly, for appointing a conservative AG who slow-walked the prosecution of Trump and let the traitor get off. In the long run, nobody’s going to give a shit about his “accomplishments” (Inflation Reduction Act, etc.) compared to that.

    Also, at least Buchanan actually kept his promise not to seek reelection.

      Yeah. When you lose the republic, it overshadows any middling reforms you pushed.
