I respect my elders, or at least I try to, but at 85, Mr. Grassley should not be in the center of this national storm.
That’s too much pressure for an old person, when it doesn’t have to be this way. Surely there are other competent members of congress to take on these duties. To me, it’s like directing an 85 y/o driver onto The Autobahn in Germany.
That seems both impractical and almost cruel. His timing is likely to be off. This may account for his ever-moving deadline ultimatums. Put somebody else in that Hot Seat.
If Ted Cruz, Chris Christie, even Marco Rubio were there, this would never have been allowed to string itself out in such a way. Nikki Haley is too busy with the UN. She too seems capable of cracking that whip when you have to.
