Yes, he's easy to ridicule, especially by those seeking only a phrase for a sound bite.
His prose is verbose; he tries to forestall misunderstandings later (but of course - the reading requires an attention span of several minutes at a time - disqualifying many.)

I expect he's a bit too sane to become a National figure for the infotainment rounds.
Muricans don't want to 'know' how we appear to others anyway - just want to emote and congratulate each other for choosing to be born here, where we are always Right, no matter who dies.
