    I disagree. He’s a scientist, he stands against gun violence, and is the categorical opposite of pretty much everything this administration stands for (including what I perceive to be an unfortunate straight-lacedness and by-the-book attitude). Having someone with actual experience in science is, I believe, exactly what the country would need to start pulling itself back together. However, even more important is a willingness to execute the spirit of the law against those who have made a mockery of it. I would want to see a commitment to punishment, investigation, and open books. A full airing of laundry and a clean wash. My concern is that he might not have the guts to do it. He doesn’t strike me as a half-asser, but he might choose compromise, when all that compromise has gotten is full-throated Nazi appeasement and, now, a fascist xenocidal state.
