Other than Barack Obama, only four living people know firsthand the rigors of the presidency — and three of them have refused to RSVP to Donald Trump’s inauguration.
The peaceful transfer of power between presidents is one of the most profound and important aspects of American democracy. At the outset of our nation’s history, it was what set us apart from the monarchies of Europe. While other nations have since adopted America’s democratic system, ours remains the gold standard by which all others are judged. No other country has so successfully respected the tradition of free and fair elections and the personal willingness to give up power.
Which makes it all the more disappointing that Jimmy Carter is the only former president willing to commit to Trump’s inauguration. George H.W. Bush, Bill Clinton, and George W. Bush have all received invites but have so far not commented on whether they will attend.

Who cares, besides who wants them there anyway!

Steve Roney Terrel has a good point about some of Trump’s appointees. Just because Trump beat out evil Hillary doesn’t mean we give him a free pass. We had accepted far too much of what Bush jr. did and he and his appointees made a real mess. This is probably our last chance to get this right.. We can’t afford to play these liberal/conservative ping-pong games. We need the right people to carry out the right policies for the good of everyone in this country, not to help the elitists get richer and powerful at our expense.
Who cares?
I think carter is senile & happy to be anywhere at his age.
