Great! Let’s keep score. This is important. My read of his family systems dynamic is that he’d bug out of office in not so long a time. I said that back in the summer. This could be the start. Or just an innocuous comment.
I find this interesting - can you elaborate? Why would he need to bug out? And what excuses might he give?
I’m aware that as a senator, he basically worked part time (well, he did have to expend energy to push the “present” button, and maybe it was tiring to never hold any of his subcommitte hearings - you know, always hanging over your head, never getting it done, poor BO).
I don’t believe he has ever held a real full time job, let alone one that was very demanding. I’ve wondered if he can handle the constant stress and demands. I think he took as many vacations as Bush, but just in the space of 1.5 years of primaries. I don’t know if he can take the work.
Another option I’ve thought of, is enough states pass rules that would now require verification of eligibility, with no grandfather clauses, he wouldn’t be able to run in 4 years. If he made it that long, that might be the point where he gets some mysterious illness that still allows him to play Bball, or maybe he would realize he needs more time with his family!
Is this what you were thinking, or do you have other interesting ideas?
