I have great respect and admiration for Jimmy Carter. I would be very interested to get his take on the election and Trump. Has anyone heard from Jimmy?

(1,300 posts)1. I've been wondering the same thing
Hasn't he been an election observer in other countries? He should have something to say.

Will Clinton and the Bushes attend?

by Comey's hacks.

As horrible as it might be, it is to no one's advantage for the new Prez to "fail" (I'm fine with Trump failing as far as many of his white wing racist beliefs, but not "failing" with respect to the country as a whole).

It's unpresidental and Jimmy Carter is always Presidential.
He might say something about the Russian hacking though, but probably not until it's a proven fact to all Americans.

President Carter has earned a break for his years of service. It's OK
by me if he wants to take a step or two back out of the limelight.
