| Too old. Way too old. There should be a cap of 70. |
THIS! |
| I will vote for whoever the Democratic nominee is, at this point. If it's Biden, it's Biden. |
ITA on DeSantis, but I think the GOP may go ride or die here with DeSantis. They are hugely freaked out by losing. It seems like the 2012 post-mortem is coming true. |
| Biden is a decrepit puppet. There is no way they’ll allow him to run in 2024. |
Ageist much? People of ALL ages have the right to be judged on their merit and their performance — not a number. |
| WE need someone younger, guys, cmon. |
The problem is that "someone younger" doesn't run - it's an actual person, and you have to like them and think other people like them more than who we have. I really like Biden. I am open to someone else being the nom, if we have someone else who is really good - but this whole "muST bE YouNGer" call int he dark doesn't really get you there. So who then? |
I don’t know that I agree with a cap of 70, but we’re talking about the office of the President of the United States. Stability is important. You don’t have stability if the president drops dead. Of course, a young president can (and has) died in office, but older the president is, the greater the likelihood of that happening due to natural causes. Airline pilots have a mandatory retirement age because they’re responsible for the lives of others. It’s not unreasonable for the highest office in the most powerful nation on earth to have an age cap. |
If we had no idea how old Biden was, he would most definitely be judged on his performance and merit - and the verdict would be just as harsh. DP |
DP. I completely disagree. When I see DeSantis, I see someone strong and resolute. The contrast between him and Trump is striking. I don’t think DeSantis will have any trouble winning the nomination over Trump. |
And Democrats aren’t?! The desperation on this forum is palpable.
|
What’s the plan for what comes next? How will Republicans convince Trump to endorse DeSantis and then go away? |
Its not a rational choice at his age. Neither is Trump. |
| Democracy needs someone who can win and finish their term. |
