As a working person a few years his senior, I know it now takes considerably more effort for me to stay on top of things than it did when I was ‘merely’ 70.

While there are many very wise elders, McCain is not one of them – so absent vitality, how exactly would the country benefit from a McCain Presidency? What would he be except a placeholder for the likes of Mitt or Jeb?
