Because of racism, he can't govern effectively' is not a great argument for re-election.

About This Quote

This is a great line, but I think it's overstated. Every president has to worry about being re-elected, but no president has ever been re-elected after being judged unfit to govern by the electorate. If the president's supporters are confident that he can govern well, then he'll be re-elected.
