Clinton was talking on the Daily Show about how Washington used to be a place where people would move their families to while Congress was in session, and it made for a more collegial atmosphere & better relationships. He regretted that we lost that, and cited it as a cause of much of the rancor & partisanship we see today.

Leading the free world is no small thing, and it's not for everyone. It is certainly not for people who are unwilling to make sacrifices like a 5-day work week, no matter how far they have to travel.

Another stupid emotional argument.

That's a really interesting observation...did he talk at all about why this changed? Why don't they live in DC anymore with their families?

Yes he did. I saw Clinton on the Daily show, too.

In a word: Fundraising.

These days congresswomen/men have to head home a lot, to hobnob with local and state business leaders and interest groups to beg for campaign cash.

In the old days, fundraising was not as time intensive.

In the old days it wasn't expected that a person travel 3000 miles every week in order to get everything done.

Why do you think he is quitting, US?

Probably disgusted with the Republican party and does not have the ball to go against the party and tell the truth.
Or perhaps getting out before he is caught in some kind of corruption investigation.
Take you pick.
 
Not a dodge, I think those are the primary reasons Republicans are choosing not to run again.
You can dodge that possibility if you want.
 
Water, how are you going to attack an ironclad statement like "I think this is why..."?

Just back off before he owns you.
 
Arguing with US is like trying to catch a fish with your bare hands.

You argue one thing, and he attacks something completely different than to what you were arguing.

Then you say, no that's not right... and he goes off in another completely different direction.

Basically, he constantly tries to defeat arguments other than the ones presented to him.
