Geriatric AND infirm is a potent combination in relation to longevity. Even if somehow all the pitfalls on the way to coronation are avoided, what would Herself have for life expectancy once attaining the Oval Orifice?

We are reminded of FDR running for fourth term and dying within three months. He KNEW he was very infirm, but damn the consequences, he was the only person he knew who could have been elected.

The launch of Harry S Truman into the position of Acting President could not have been more traumatic for everybody else involved, as Harry was completely uninformed as to the problems and complexities of the job thrust at him in April 1945. Harry did not even know of the atomic bomb, but he was called upon to make a decision whether to use it or not against Japan, in a matter of only a few months.

For some people, ego transcends everything.
