A small sub-quote, from within your quote:
". . . he was not really cut out to be a politician."
That in itself, is ONE of the big reasons why.
He also had the guts to say "no" to some very powerful people.
He paid a price for that too, but I'd prefer to stay away from that subject, for the time being.
