considered to run for POTUS,,,As one person interviewed...she feels it is selfish of them to run...her choice was a 50 year old. Personally I admit I want the Donald out...and felt that Biden was the strongest to unseat the Donald..but by his staying in, I didn't really pay attention to any one else who is running...and if these three were not in the race , I probably would have had the time to get to know the other...am sure qualified and definitely younger democratic candidates. I know the Donald is in his 70's but lets face it..for most of us, this run of his as POTUS is NOT a success...more like a cluster f**k..a disaster.. I wonder if I am alone in feeling this way.. ====================================== Example of what I am yapping about..The individual , Cory Booker, she prefers...I know squat about him..but 50 years old...that I like. I know it's my own fault for not knowing the other candidates but there was just too many..my mind had been made up but still.. ""Bernie Sanders has already had a heart attack! Joe Biden can't remember what day it is! Now, I can't either some days, I will admit that, but we need someone who is sharp and thinks on their feet and doesn't fumble words," said Judge, who supports 50-year-old Cory Booker, the New Jersey senator."================================ www.yahoo.com/news/just-too-darn-old-sanders-143520136.html |

It is interesting how the military typically doesn't let it's top generals and admirals reach 60, and corporate America defines "Retirement Age" for pretty much everyone as 65, but we're perfectly fine with leaving the running of our country to old, old men. I wonder why that is?

I wonder why that is? Bob...good question...Did a quick Google{I luv Google  } "34 years for males in the 18th century." Average age.... Remember, constitution written 1776 or so....Age of Presidents not considered a problem. Just guessing but possible along those lines and probable most of the Delegates in Philadelphia probably felt they were all pretty fit or if not, weren't interested in thinking of their own immortality. |

Booker stands about as much a chance of winning as I do.
it is going to be Warren, Sanders, or dark horse Buttigeig, if it is not Biden.
nobody else has a realistic chance, imo.

You forgot to add, any of these four will fall to Trump in the actual election regardless of what the polls say right now. |

you would be wise to do the same.
note: I will admit that the polling is useless at this point, unless you are looking at Trump's approval and the Generic Ballot, both of which have a very nice Halloween patina.

You've entered the oracle game, just like SCP with his marvelous track record.  What's the point of this? If you're wrong, you look like a total moron. Is it worth it to be able to gloat if you end up being correct with your guess? (and that's all it is...a guess) Yes, the democrats are so looking forward to the election. He has them right where he wants them. Have asked before I believe...what is this f en love affair with this guy...like he is of the second coming...What am I missing? Personally, I think many like Trump because he's got the "guts" to vocalize their deep, dark, innermost secrets about race, class, gender, etc. And that's pretty disturbing. |

Might be more wise to wait & see what happens in the next few months prior to the start of primary season. I know his people are doing numerouse polls...all types of demographics..possible not for public publish presentation... If as we get closer to the GOP convention and he getting into more poor judgement.. {by the publics estimation...not his..he is, in his mind never mistaken or wrong regarding his words or actions} and these Polls, his own and others are suggesting a very good chance he will not , even with his loyal base and good support of GOP members, possible emerge as a winner in 2020...I agree with u... In fact I believe I mentioned the POSSIBILITY that he will declare his time in office a great, great success and because of other conditions, age...business...he is retiring from the office...being in his 70's...let Price make his move or someone else more to the conventions leader desires as their candidate. |

You have a point and believe some of that but didn't want to paint V***e who is a supporter of the man and a good poster here with that paint brush...don't believe he is of that ilk as u suggest...thus my question of what he sees in the man stands. |

Yes, the democrats are so looking forward to the election. He has them right where he wants them. I am sure he thinks that. some Republicans probably do too. which is great for Democrats.
