Perhaps — and hear me out here — going high when they go low isn’t really working.

@Strandjunker

The American voter doesn't reward going high. Those who go low are regarded as being more powerful for their willingness to do so.

The Obamas, while saying that, were not pursuing and arresting torturers. There's nothing lower, except pedophiles. And voters backed that call.

Adam Driver couldn't interest people in the torture story; his movie sank without a trace. Torture got a thumbs up, really.

Go low next time. Go VERY low, just for a surprise attack.
