37. Yes. She always seems to soil whatever nest she tries out.

It's actually not an uncommon pattern. Anyone can run for office, and some pols have a real talent for self aggrandization but then flaws or lack of suitability don't allow them to maintain what they achieve.

Newt Gingrich is an old but famous example, rose to Nancy's position of great power but then self destructed, been selling his name and fake cancer cures in the swamp ever since. Tom The Hammer Delay's another memorable one. She won't rise to that, certainly, but if she were to make a third-party run she might make it into the history books before disappearing.

Hope to hell not.

What a nice-looking family. Hope he does very well.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
