I remember a National Lampoon article summarizing the first term of Robert F. Kennedy‘s presidency. The point was that Kennedy would have become a moderately cautious liberal and boilerplate cold warrior, and a far cry from the “change” candidate that RFK ran as. Like someone else I could mention. Promise and potential are eternally attractive, but nobody’s a miracle worker. Reality will always compromise the dream.
