>Would you say the same thing about Trump?

Can’t tell if trolling or serious. I guess serious since the neverTrumpers are trying to blur the line between dementiaJoe and high energy Donald.

so: No, that’s not my point at all.

I might apply it to *me* as I am not uniquely positioned to change the nation’s fate, and in the general case as intended in my post. As time goes on I try and spend more time uplifting the people I mentor or lead. The article encourages people to be all about themselves as long as possible.

(and really, Trump running for President is the least egotistic thing he could do with his time, unlike the clawing career politicians who exemplify corruption and nepotism as they grow rich selling influence)

My apologies - no trolling and not NeverTrumping.

What I was trying to get at, was that working into one’s final years isn’t necessarily a sign of being unable to “let go.”

I suspect if you asked Pelosi, Schumer, the late Ted Kennedy and Grand Dragon Byrd, they’d SWEAR they’re not quitting because they love their job and they want to protect the little guy. Uh huh.

At the risk of sounding naive, I would be willing to bet that such a belief resides in Bernie’s heart. He is an old fool, a fraud given his home(s), but he’s probably a True Believer.

Trump…well…the guy is definitely driven, can overplay his effectiveness (his terrible HR chops are his Achilles), and is kinda full of himself. That said, he’s the best since Reagan (better in some regards), a fighter, and has more to gain by retiring/golfing. He sees Purpose in carrying on.
