He's just the front man de jour, the marketer in chief, the clown to distract. So, the real threats will have another 4 years to get the rest of their ducks, and levers of power in hand.

So, no, I do NOT feel better knowing he is 'term limited'. There is no way he serves his full term this time. TPTB don't really like him. He's just a very useful idiot, for now.
