Senator Dianne Feinstein’s career was filled with firsts, including first woman mayor of San Francisco and one of two of the first women elected to the U.S. Senate from California.

My dad always said Jimmy Carter was too good of a man to be president
Good man, weak president.
Like so many Democratic Presidents, he was cockblocked by the GOP.
How so? He had a Democratic majority in Congress his entire term. Filibuster wasn’t as widespread as it is now.
He micromanaged his staff, and never got a good grip on the sausage making process in Washington. He was also more in bed with Evangelicals than people notice today. His sister is a pretty big reason why Evangelicals are so politically active these days.
He’s a pretty great human being all round. He sucked as President, and it has little to do with the GOP.

That’s not what was going on here. He had no idea how to negotiate with his own party. He micromanaged to the point that he insisted on approving use of the White House tennis court for the first 6 months in office. He could never let go of petty details, and it kept him from prioritizing important decisions.
