    ...it is, though.

It isn't though. 45 got elected and is completely lacking in both qualities. I suspect the next guy/gal will also be morally bankrupt to some degree. We have plenty of examples from history to teach us this lesson.

Dude, every gaffe GWB ever made was him making stupid remarks and uneducated misstatements in moments where he was expected to be empathetic. He didn't fail to be empathetic - he failed to be properly, convincingly empathetic.

He knew what was required of him. He just stopped giving a fuck in the moment.
