I think some of us here have done homework on the issues and could misfire about them all day long. If his time on the stump was just OK, he probably didn't do near the homework or give the commitment that it would take to still be in the race.

He and his high dollar support group should've figured out why he was perceived as just being OK, and done the homework to fix the problem, not wait around and hope an uncommitted voter sits a half hour deep into a Q&A session. I bet if he pretended to cough up a chunk of lung and blamed it on climate change, that alone would've gotten him a week or two deeper into the primaries.

I like folks who're sharp on the issues with good ideas and solutions, but is it enough? That family has also disappointed me. Interesting how civil and quietly former presidents will grin through the demonizing and polarization of 'the last eight years', then turn and attack within their own party.
