47. It is not as simple as that.

I bow to nobody in terms of my respect and admiration for JB. But it was pretty clear that he was fighting a losing battle against Father Time. I am also a medical doctor with decades of experience in geriatrics and his cognitive decline was starkly obvious. The adverse implications of his staying on under those circumstances are crystal clear. And it would also would have been cruel to the man himself to expect him to do do.
And he was not pushed. He might have been advised but he was not pushed. He alone could call it. And being the selfless patriot that he is he called it the right way. The contrasts with his opponent -- which are now powerfully pushed into national focus -- could not be starker.
