And that will never happen for the same reason communism faile.d Human nature will rebel against it. Those in power want to stay in power. Douglas Adams had it right - the only people who should lead us are the ones who don't want the job.

Because one of the biggest criticisms against the man is that he can't admit a mistake even when it's obvious. Because knowing that, it would behoove him to come up with one to prove those critics wrong. Because saying "guys, I fucked up, and I'm sorry" instills more confidence than pretending you never made a mistake when it's obvious to everyone that you have made many of them.
