Or, to your point, do better in promoting those doing good work now. I didn’t necessarily mean find a new body as much as lauding and making visible good work.

The grace of Obama to even acknowledge him is impressive.

That’s a good get.

I’m advocating for dismissing the truly stupid and focusing on the material. “Had enough yet,” sadly, didn’t work. Focus should be on what we do next. We need to start promoting a slate of new strong candidates, evaluate how we talk to the middle, use energy to oppose things he can actually do.

I hope so. Not a WHU fan but Potter deserves another shot and this looks like a good fit.

Yup. Outrage to stupidity gives it air time. Our response should be be “sure, grandpa…anyway, real stuff.” It’s a tactic and it works because we engage it.

If this is the case, will gaffer recognize this and loose some of his stubbornness, play to some of our strengths, or allow the slide to continue and squander an excellent start. So far, evidence suggests he’ll keep running into the wall.

Could it be that implementing Maresca’s “idea” the worse we play? Our best results came as we were more fluid, taking chances and passing forward while still playing from the back and maintaining possession. All eyeball test, but I sense our effectiveness decreased as system was implemented fully.
