影片最后,Ron Klain在机场问James Baker,他是否能够确定,真正优秀的人已在选举中胜出?他是否能够确定,这个胜出的人会成为一个好总统。
这个问题,在四年之后,美国人似乎仍无法回答,直到八年后的今天才似乎有了共识。但无论如何,就像James Baker那段话所说的——
"But more important than all that is that the system worked. There were no tanks on the streets. This peaceful transfer of power in the most emotional and trying of times is a testament to the strength of the Constitution and to our faith in the rule of law."
