The fundamental weakness the president has had throughout his four-year tenure has been the lack of allies in key positions of power around him. And he's coming to terms with the full recognition of what that means as he sees McConnell's recommended judges betray him at every single level, as he sees McConnell tries to betray him in the Senate on the upcoming vote, as he sees what's happened with the Republican governors in Arizona and Georgia undermining him. So he now fully appreciates it, but I think he undervalued it before. And he had too few allies.
