Sanders is a very old man with documented heart problems.
Of course he will drop out. He is likely looking for a way to drop out.
The question for all of these octogenarians, McCain, Ted Kennedy, Pelosi, Schumer, RBG, and a dozen others
in D.C. today, including Sanders (and Biden BTW), is it worth your life?
These guys are literally killing themselves to push a fantasy ideal from the 1960s.
Is it still worth it? Apparently Sanders is saying, NO. He has realized that his time has passed.
Speaking as a retired person, I can say honestly that being retired is fantastic. Do what you want, when you want to.
It is a shame that these people will never know the peace that I have in my life now.
Well, having heart problems doesn't necessarily disqualify Sanders for the WH. It may not necessarily mean he is in imminent danger of croaking.
But I agree with you about the joys of retirement. I had to retire earlier than planned (disability) and for financial reasons would have liked to have stayed longer, but now I enjoy retirement. Life is good.
The trick to enjoying retirement is to have something to do -- travel, hobbies, volunteering, spending time with the grandkids, whatever. The ones who can't enjoy retirement are the ones who have nothing better to do but work. Their jobs are or were their lives.
A cousin on my Mom's side was miserable when he retired. He complained to my Dad that he was bored and was thinking of finding another job. Later, Dad said to Mom, "your cousin Art is crazy." Dad had retired a few years earlier at age 60 and loved it. He slept late, indulged in hobbies, hit all the farmers markets, found a maintenance or refurbishing job to do around the house, or if he had nothing better to do, he snoozed in the easy chair in front of the tv. He couldn't understand why Art didn't enjoy retirement as much as he did.
Do hope that peace you found in retirement stays with you.
