“Frankly, for the good if the country both should step aside and let fresh blood in. But for some reason the bases of both parties won’t let go.”
Those damned voters.
They think that they should have a voice in who runs the government, instead of letting their betters rule as nature intends it to be.
Not saying that at all. The voters still choose. Just that both of these guys should have the style and Grace to let it go. Do the Lyndon Johnson. Ain’t running. Ain’t serving if elected.
