2020 Democratic Candidates Tracker - Part II

It should be a question for the big 3 anyway. Warren, Biden, and Bernie are all septuagenarians. I think it would be very appropriate to demand some candor when it comes to "estate planning", so to speak, if they were to be the candidate/POTUS.

The VP is often a throwaway position, but in this case, the choice could very easily end up serving as POTUS. This should be addressed.

This really isn't a partisan issue. Trump is, by all estimation, an obese, unhealthy 73 year old man.

I love Bernie, but it is really damning that all of the serious candidates are so old. The D's need fresh blood desperately.

It would be 1944 again, where the Dems, when they nominated Truman, knew they were probably nominating a future President.

But you mention something I have been seeing for some time; a lot of the younger best and brightest don't want to go into politics period, let alone run for President. The campaign has become so long and brutal it's scaring people off.

Bernie's had a blow out...

NYT said:
The Vermont senator had two stents inserted after experiencing some chest discomfort at an event on Tuesday evening. His campaign said he would be resting for several days.

Not to make lite of it, and I'm glad he's doing okay. But, it's hardly a minor deal as he's canceled upcoming events.

ETA: Ninjaed by the Turkey... Should have looked back further... Now I got turkey egg on my face.

He wasn't referring to Sunnyvale. Sunnydale is the setting for Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Fresh blood, get it?

As a huge Buffy fan, yes I get it which is why I made the joke.
In the TV show, Sunnydale is somewhere south of Monterey..and Monterey is well south of Pelosi's San Francisco District.
Joke based on California geography get it?
 
I honestly think this pretty much is it for Bernie , even if continues his campaign.
Electablity in the General election was his weak point before,and now with major questions about his health the electability question has gotten even stronger.
 
I can’t wait for the next debate when someone asks Biden if he is too damn old to be president and he wheels around and points at Sanders and bellows, “that guy just had heart surgery and he’s even older than me! This kind of thing makes my eye....er....head explode!” And then his dentures come loose.
 
I see the Berniacs will just try to joke this way.
Won't Wash. His chances of getting the nomination were not all that good before, and now they are pretty damn small, and all the jokes in the world will to change it.
