Salon best of Table Talk:

  • “… He’s made us all aware that ‘it can happen here.’
  • His legacy? The next time you have a chance to vote for a president you would like to have a beer with … DON’T.
  • He’s got some brush cleared. He lowered the bar for the next president. He almost succeeded in uniting the Democratic Party. No one has ever been able to do that.
  • How can you call him a failure when he’s achieved all that while taking a record number of vacation days?
  • His nicknames for other people are sometimes borderline creative.
  • He made it highly unlikely Jeb would get his chance.
  • He put Crawford, Texas, on the map.
  • And almost took New Orleans off it.
  • He’s shown us that it’s okay to redefine words and phrases (‘Mission Accomplished’?).”
