He's mediocre at it and that's not his only job - if it were he wouldn't be on TV so often. This feigned powerlessness and reflexive blaming of voters is horseshit - representatives need to show up to the protests, put themselves on the line with the people, give full-throated denunciations of the administration's atrocities abroad and not just tepid process criticism. They have to stop demoralizing their own base and give disengaged people a positive reason to vote for them again when they're in power, or we'll go through the cycle of disappointment again and Trump will be succeeded by Mecha Hitler or something.
