Like that hasn't happened already? I would imagine the court of public opinion hasn't been all that kind to him.
Democrats still seem to think that by being genteel, they'll own the so-called moral high ground, as if that's the most important thing in the world to them. Hell, if anything, they're hellbent on playing nice, firmly (and foolishly) believing that partisanship still exists when everyone knows it's dead and buried. Republicans happily crawled into the sewer long ago to play endless dirty tricks and never left, to them, it's all about power, nothing else matters, and they'll break any and all rules to obtain power and keep it. Dems need to understand if they're going to balance the scales, they have no choice but to jump down into the mudpit and kick the bejesus out of the GOP.
