Just his age and the associated cognitive skills makes it basically impossible. I predict with 2 more years of these far right progressive policies, someone will emerge that will simply campaign on the border and crime. The American people will not accept 6 more years of this crap.Quote:

Yeah just what we need another 70ish year old running the country. Sorry to all the older folks on here, but just as there is a minimum age, I firmly believe there should be a max age as well for the Presidency. It is noted in numerous studies that at a certain age cognitive abilities start to dwindle.Quote:

I certainly would be in favor of younger candidates vying for leadership. Age does play a factor in ability, stamina, etc.
Would be good to have someone in their 50's with experience, and not in reality TV. (and yes, I'm one of the older folks)
But remained troubled that "gridlock" is a good place for our country with all the challenges we face.
Hopefully, wiser minds will prevail
I was kind of hoping for a rebuke of progressivism last night, but I can handle a rebuke of Trumpism. DeSantis was obviously the big winner of the night from the national scene, but Trump is going to do his best to make sure that even if DeSantis beats him in a primary (which I think it's becoming clearer he would) he'll be kneecapped for the general. So, yay President Harris or whatever.
If I had to pick a relatively realistic Democrat to run for President and win, I'd go Cory Booker. I'm definitely not in line with that guy on policy, but I've always been impressed with the guy when I've listened to him talk. He's the anti-Kamala in that respect.
During the last presidential campaign, I read that Pete wasn't gay. He just has sex with a man. Otherwise, those two are just living a normal heterosexual life. The culture out there is weird, man.Quote:

Again, the real problem for the Dems in '24 is finding someone willing to push back on some of these disastrous domestic policies. I don't think anyone can win the Democratic nomination promising more of the same. There has to be a large portion of Democrat voters that can't stomach much more of this.
These are not the people you need to convince in a general...it's the moderates/independents. Democrats are going to vote democrat most of the time regardless of the candidate, just like the other side.Quote:
