Listening to the BBC online & hearing the MPs take after PM May,

I 'spect the #Apricot Hellbeast would last 7, 8 seconds on floor of the Parliment. I did think Shrub could go 15 seconds. Maybe.

His first term seemed to showcase a more lucid and adaptable Reagan, but the end was gruesome to watch. His depth would have been a problem at any point, but I am thinking of his debate performance against Carter that gave him a lot of cache for a time...

Regardless, we NEED to have a monthly session where the President answers to the congress in open session like they have in Britain...I would LOVE it!
