Indispensable Men

Joe, it is time to give it up; your debate performance was not a one-off; it was evidence of a person in mental decline. It was your idea to debate Donald Trump early in the campaign, thinking your performance would give you a boost; the polls showed you a little behind. You came back from Europe and spent the next six days at Camp David to prepare; a younger man would have prepared one or two days. The debate was a disaster, but you refused to quit the race; your mindset cemented in the past; believing you were the only person who could save the Republic. “The graveyards are full of indispensable men” – Charles de Gaulle.
