JPR Nutjobs interpret CA moving up their primary as an attack on Sanders chances in 2020

68. The more I hear about near 80 somethings as candidates in 2020

The more I think Howard Dean is right in urging us to recruit candidates in their 30s and 40s to gear themselves up to run for leadership positions.

I don't mind elder statesmen (and women) being there to offer advice based on experience, but I want someone younger, more open, more dynamic to lead us. There will be missteps. There always are. But missteps are not limited to young presidents. ALL new presidents make mistakes. But some new presidents make ONLY mistakes, such as the one we have now, and we don't need any more of that. Justin Trudeau in Canada, Macron in France, they will mess up. But they rode in on a wave of hope and with a mandate. They can change and learn, and get their countries behind them. Trump rode in on a wave of fear and hate and no mandate at all. No one who says "I have the solutions" ever does. That's why Republicans always disappoint. It's why Sanders would have. It's why Biden probably would, although I consider him as close to an exception to the rule as there possibly could be.

As for moving the California primary being a deliberate attack on Bernie Sanders, that is divorced enough from reality as to qualify promoters of the notion for treatment for paranoia. Too bad for them if their obsession with Sanders is such that they see every move made on the political chessboard in a context of whether or not it will directly affect their own narrow cause.
