Politics is the art of the possible. It is not possible for Donald Trump to win the Presidency. It is not possible to pursue a national agenda with him as the standard bearer. Period.
He did a great service to our country as President. He forged a new political coalition for the Republicans to use. But he is no longer the man to lead it. If he truly cares about the country, and not primarily himself, it is time to step aside and let someone else finish what he started.
A person who can do that shows the true measure of greatness. Sadly, I don’t think Donald Trump can do that.
Indeed.
And he will be remembered forever for being the person who started the movement.
Just as Reagan is remembered for being the person who started the collapse of the USSR.
