I think Clint's empty chair was the perfect reference to the lost child aka president. However I also noticed how lefty was unable to associate the irony of it all. So lets connect the dots. Empty chair = empty suit I hope this will help lefty to understand.

I liked that Mitt and Paul laid out the facts, stated the situation as it stands today, and then asked. Is this the way you want to live? Is this the country you want to leave your children?

Both answers for me are no and hell no. So to allen, these two Mitt and Paul represent a light at the end of a very dark tunnel. I can only say to lefty, move over, follow but get out of the way.
