      Wouldn’t surprise me if that’s what sealed the deal for him.

      I mean the deadlines are closing and having to fight to even stay in the race while president of the U.S. and recovering from an illness is not something anyone looks forward to.

      Frankly I hope he can catch a break for a bit, and enjoy a pension after all this is over.

      That’s what was said, but it wouldn’t surprise me if that was just cover to plan and execute this maneuver
