So we like Joe and we respect him and we believe that his wisdom and his team have made the country better, but by his own admission he was meant to be the bridge to the next generation of Democratic leaders. Does he really believe that with his forgetfulness and fading energy he is so much better than Kamala or any of the other serious contenders for the position of leader? If so, then that is either breathtakingly arrogant or bad judgement and I think it is those qualities that are turning people off him rather than the bare facts of his age.

So wonderfully penned and very moving - and this might be the difficulty. It's actually about power and as the ancient Greeks tell us, hubris will fell him. He will always be better than Trump but is that good enough for the person leading the world in these dreadful times?
