We have a country to save from a mad man, and future to save from climate change, global economics, the global rise of autocrats, etc. What the Clintons, Obama, and Bernie did or did not do is not relevant. It's not about them any more. It's about us and our future. The war of the five kings is done.

(13,390 posts)Bernie knows how old he is, and I don't think he'll run again. I would just as soon he retreat from the public stage and mentor a fresh face along with many other the Congress members. Likewise both Bill and Hillary Clinton. Mentoring is key to continue the work that is still underway.
Obama is still doing civics work on the ground that I hope to continue to hear about.
But as far as setting the political agenda for the future we need fresh voices and new ideas from people who are going to be around for awhile longer. We have a daunting future to think about!
