I love Joy Ann Reid, our "Good Guy of the Year" winner in the Crookie Awards for 2016. Last night on 'The Last Word' she said something that seemed at first listen to be lyrical and bright (as she nearly always is), comparing the presidencies of Barack Obama and Donald Trump, and how, perhaps, their presidencies should be defined as "emblems" of the American psyche: If you think of the presidency as a national avatar, Obama is who we hope we are, and Donald Trump is who we fear we are, right?
