Twenty-five years ago, we had the confident presences of Bill Clinton, Helmut Kohl and Tony Blair — and Alan Greenspan. Now we have a failing American president, a timorous German chancellor, a British prime minister about to skulk out of office in ignominy and a chairman of the Federal Reserve who last year flubbed the most important decision of his career. Elsewhere: the resignation of Italy’s prime minister, a caretaker government in Israel, the assassination of Japan’s dominant political figure.[/i] [/list] I sincerely believe that the sooner Joe announces he will not seek a second term will be all the better for the Democratic party. Let's see, LBJ announced he would not seek the second term during March '68 (I predicted it to two other guys at Lunch in Saigon during October '67; to my Mother and Father in a letter during Feb '68). Harry Truman announced same during March '52. So, with twenty nine months remaining, Joe would be announcing considerably sooner than did two of his predecessors, but they were not 79yo. Now it is "almost true" that such nomination is always held open for the incumbent president, but I'm not sure how many presidents have been "underwater" with job approval than is Joe (he is worse off than was Trump nineteen months in). So I really think the sooner Joe makes such an announcement will be the better for all concerned. This of course is independent of whether my March '23 prediction of a resignation comes to pass.
