Seconded. I can’t stand the guy, but contrast his leadership to that of our Mayor and he comes out looking like a hero.

I am not ready to change my assessment of him. There were ample situations in in "peace time" for him to push harder but he didn't. DeBlasio may be more inept, but Cuomo only pushes things hard after they become very popular. That's still not leadership.

There's a difference between leading with ideas and such and executing well. The latter is more important in a crisis.

I'm not even asking for ideas, though. Subway, weed, rent, cannabis, etc didn't need ideas.

I'm not asking for Good Robert Moses, I am asking for Good Robert Moses's Oddjob.

Churchill was the same way. Great wartime leader. Rubbish in peacetime.
