Then he's a one-term president unless the Ds come up with a stupifyingly horrific candidate.
His leash is almost certainly shorter than he thinks it is (although I suspect, given how well he understood the electorate, he may understand more closely than we'd give him credit for on first blush). The same people who cast their hopes with him & showed up yesterday will sit the next one out if he turns into "just the same ol' do-nothing".
