My thoughts exactly. Elizabeth Warren is at least still lucid, but I'm not convinced that she can effectively work with Congress either - and I'm even less sure that I want her to be able to! There is a chance that gridlock might be the best possible option at this juncture, but if a crisis comes, we need a leader with vision that will actually be able to get what they need out of Congress.

Peace and prosperity has very little to do with who is president. Franklin Roosevelt was a wise man, with no military background, who tried to avoid war but had to fight it anyway. Ulysses s Grant was a brilliant man of war, but ended up presiding over a country at peace - though creating one of the most corrupt administrations in US history in the process.

All of which is to say, the fact that the president is becoming demented hats nothing to do with the fact that we enjoy peace and prosperity at the moment.
