Also he's gotten too old.

I doubt age factored into his decision. He was too old ten years ago. If he had kept control of his party, he'd be clinging to power all the way to the morgue.

He was still a diabolically effective leader 10 years ago, taking action that led directly to the total conservative capture of the SCOTUS.

On the flipside, he's clearly and evidently not effective anymore.
