I am 71. We don't need people of my generation running in 2020.

50. 4 years ago I saw at my Alma Mater (Univ of Penn) a fascinating presentation about the Generations

It was a fascinating presentation that described various markers and events in history and a description of the various Generations and the events that shaped and marked their generation and their "experiences" and characteristics.

That means generations like the current Generation Z (born through 2010) and X, Y, and Baby Boomers etc.

He described the Silent Generation but said specifically at the time that there has never been, and never will be, anyone from that generation (which he defined as born between 1925-1942 who has ever been elected President nor ever will be. I found that to a fascinating statement back in 2013 and I then saw this same person lecture in 2015 and asked them again if they thought that Bernie Sanders could ever be elected. He answered based on his studies and statistical analysis from this era and age group, Never.

I was so struck by his certainty and the lecture and I remember it and always will. So when I hear that Bernie wants to run again in 2020, I cringe. Bernie shouldn't run for President. He should (if he is alive) or anyone else from that era, helping elect and speak for a younger newer generation that can take the torch and rebuild this country.

And statistically speaking and assuming that this data that he went by is true, if I were a betting person I wouldn't bet on anyone born in those years.
