15. Ummm, he didn't fight back. Didn't refuse to resign.

Didn't confront the claims against him.

I am NOT saying those claims are true. Clearly they are not. But his resignation would be a permanent cloud of his candidacy.

Certainly, he does not seem to be slowing down at all at his age. But we need someone much younger as the candidate.

One of the things that bothered me a lot about the Clinton-Trump matchup (and would have bothered me even more about a Sanders-Trump matchup) was the age of both of them. Electing either one of them was going to be a step back from our first GenX President, Barack Obama.

It is very much time to pass the torch to a new generation.
