I agree with you that he's by no means an alarmist, but he's really not done anything to rein in the vast contingent of people who support him who have gone completely off the reservation the past four years. He's often been part of the problem. I'm not pointing the finger at him, I've been part of the problem too in years past, but to suggest that given his position he bears no responsibility whatsoever is in my view misguided.
