Bush would do it for Clinton.


Probably. But neither are active in their respective parties, nor do they hold any office currently. I said "today" in my OP.

But your cynicism is noted, and not completely out of place. Biden is old. McCain was old. Both served in the Senate over a decade ago. The new crop of senators don't even appear to be friends. Sometimes even within their own parties (I'm thinking of a near-fist-fight maybe a year ago between two members of the same party in the corridors of the Capitol). There seems to be bipartisan contempt for each other, and the FC also has contempt for their own leadership, to boot.

Where's an attack when you need one...that would pull the country together for a while.**



**Also a premise in 1984...perpetual war with *someone* to keep the people united against that foe.
