All on his own? With no experience in governing? He won't have congress on his side. He hardly has 40% of the electorate on his side.
You have set him up as a political superhero in your imaginings.
Back in 1976 this country was in a mess. We had just come out of the meat grinder of Vietnam. We had just been battered and bruised by the most severe constitutional crisis in our history with the stupidly tragic Watergate affair. Domestic terrorism was rampant with 1,000 bombings a year in 1974. The Symbionese Liberation Army, the Weather Underground, Philadelphia's PUSH movement and th Yippies were constant features on nightly newscasts. Inflation was in double digits. Oil shortages, lines for gasoline and supermarkets were offering horse meat as an affordable alternative to beef.
America wanted an outsider, someone of impeccable character, someone who could fight against the appearant imbecility of Washington. And we got someone who fit the bill in Jimmy Carter.
But he was stubborn, had no insight as to the apparatchik of Washington, unable or unwilling to build legislative coalitions.
Be ever so careful what you wish for, because you may just get it. Failure to learn from history ultimately means repeating it.
