President Biden did something Donald Trump could never do: He put his country over ego, ambition, and pride. He bowed out with grace and dignity.

His patriotism won out over any denial or wounded pride or false sense of infallibility.

For this and much else, we thank you, Joe.

I’m having the same thought as I listen to this morning’s The Daily podcast. They opened by reporting how Joe Biden based his decision on the best interests of the Democratic Party.

To use power responsibly and step away at the right time has to be one of the highest of American ideals. Joe Biden demonstrated you don’t have to be George Washington to do it.
