Two old men are hobbling and stumbling and stalling and rambling incoherently along again for the presidency of the United States, the same old men who “ran” four years ago, the oldest pair of has-beens in our history, now older still, and both visibly diminished as candidates. If is it ageist, as an old man myself, I don’t think it unduly ageist to wish that both of these guys retire gracefully—which will never happen, but only because one of them never does anything gracefully. Yet, it would be wise and for the greater good of the country for both, or either, even at this late date, to step away from this clash of antiquities and occasional if increasing senilities. You’ve had your day. Move along.
With my sincere appreciation for your service, Joe.
