Good Night! I am enjoying this play on cnn

17. Yet your claim to know what was in his mind started this sub-thread.

You claim he did it because his ego was bruised.

He wasn't a random celebrity who wasn't recognized at an event, as your description implied. He considered Biden a friend, and had held more than one fundraising event for him - the last being the largest democratic fundraise ever. He has a history with Biden upon which to assess his current mental acuity. That event worried him, in the same way the debate worried any thinking Democrat. I live with more than one family member with dementia. What I saw concerned me. There was a lot of public speculation about the need for him to step down. There were several private efforts rumored - for all I know, Clooney may well have reached out privately. But, as tied in as he is to Democratic politics - it is inconceivable that he was unaware of the failing behind the scenes efforts. As far as I'm concerned, Clooney did what needed to be done. I only wish that it hadn't needed to be done.
