Pretty slender.

His appointment of Robert E. Lee to command the Army of Northern Virginia was one of his few successful appointments.

Generally, he was out of his depth, feuding with his Generals, unable to control his cabinet, and refusing to make public speeches. He just kept issuing appeals for loyalty. In the end, this was not sufficient, and he fled from his responsibilities at the moment of surrender.
