He was not a failure, considering how much he had to fight all of the slights, underhanded schemes from never Trumper Republicans, and all of the democrats and outright propaganda from the news media. it is amazing how much he really got done.
The things I enjoyed about him, being crude and blunt with opponents for example when he said in an early debate, "Do you think all of these people came here to see Jeb Bush". Though this personality was not fun when he was messaging his own ego unreasonably, and probably cost him some votes.
