(5,219 posts)of all these great patriots, I suggest they all are too old to effectively be President. We need new blood and new ideas as we head for the middle of the 21st Century

(6,042 posts)BS-2020-80 YEARS OLD--Joe Biden-2020-79 years old--Dr. Elizabeth Warren-2020-72 years of age--experience is one thing---DIMINISHED CAPACITY ANOTHER REALITY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have nothing against any one you put forth, I would like rational reasoning to prevail for our choice of Party leadership in the upcoming fight for our goddamn life and democracy.

We need youth on ticket, lets shoot for someone in the 45 -55 range.
