      Boris Johnson is a fascinating & entertaining character, which is not the same as being a serious, prepared leader. He's kind of a cross between Newt Gingrich & Trump, but with a distinct Fleet Street flavor, & little in common with U.S. conservatives philosophically.

      You'd be a fool to rule out the possibility that Boris Johnson will be a successful Prime Minister, though the odds are against it. He has a quick wit, flair, ruthless opportunism, & a touch of what Churchill described as the legerdemain of the great military commander:pic.twitter.com/ckIHzBClsi

          The parallel to Trump, of course, is in the Tories picking Boris, a man of at best sketchy character & little principle, as an overcorrection from Theresa May, who is a sober & serious person but lacks the determination, constancy, charisma, or strategic sense to be a Thatcher.

          Coming after May, a damp rag would look like a successful PM. The bar is incredibly low for Johnson. He just has to finish off Brexit to secure his right wing, then turn around and finish off Corbyn.

          Thankfully Johnson is precisely the incompetent buffoon that could help put Corbyn in #10.

          How could it possibly be that in both America and the United Kingdom we have lost our ability to elect sane people to office..

          I just can't get past the quick wit. He doesn't even have a full one, only a half.
