I think this the very idea that in 2024, we may have two men running against each other Biden and Trump, who would both be in their 80s if elected, that it too is enough to say, well, what are we doing here?
I think there ought to be a delegation of Republicans like Mitch McConnell who ought to be talking to the President.
He is a leader there's no question about that. But I think he's a bad leader. I think he's leaving his people into, he's leading the country, especially into a very bad place.
I think, basically, this is about power. I think he wants to cripple Joe Biden before he ever gets started.
