How Long Will Biden Last? Full Term? Two?

Is Hunter another one of these NWO types that is simultaneously clever enough to pull off world wide nefarious schemes but stupid enough to take a laptop with incriminating evidence on it to a computer shop and then forget to collect it?

Yeah...just like Amanda Knox. Clever enough to clean up all her and her boyfriend's invisible DNA and fingerprints from the murder bedroom (leaving only Guede's) but not only stupid enough leave her visible blood in the bathroom but to point it and 'Sollecito's' footprint in the victim's blood out to the police. Sheesh. They want to have it both ways: the incredibly clever yet incredibly stupid criminal.

No. 42 is always the answer. But I prefer bacon. Extra crispy. I thought T. Monkey was saying Pete B was a Boomer. He wasn't.

Yeah, that was written a little unclear. It's Friday evening, my customary eloquence which normally reigns gloriously o'er the orderly fields of my loquacity has ebbed, leaving me disconsolate.

It's interesting to me that I remember the election of Ronald Reagan, and his campaign for re-election. A heck of a lot was made of the fact that he was the oldest president ever.

I hardly ever hear it mentioned that Trump is the oldest President ever to take office.

And of course Biden will break that record by a long way. He'll be older on his first day in office than Reagan was on his last day in office.....assuming he gets a first day in office.

Not really. Trump is 74 and obviously unhealthy. Biden is 77 and generally healthy. Not very far apart. I might wish the Dems had nominated somebody younger, but I wish the Repubs had nominated anybody else. We've got what we've got.
 
I think Pete B has a future in national politics. I'd like to see him run for the House or Senate and get some Federal experience under his belt. I wouldn't be surprised to see him run for POTUS again. He's brilliant.

I didn't care much for Buttigieg when he was running, but in the last couple of months he's been delightfully sassy. I wouldn't be surprised if he throws his hat in the ring again, and I expect he'll meet with more success next time. I think whichever way this election goes, it's going to be the last of the Baby Boomers in that office.

I only really saw Buttiogieg in one of the primary debates. My impression form that was that he was a good speaker but seemed very scripted. I also don't see being mayor of South Bend Indiana as being the sort of high level executive experience i would like to see in a potential president. I haven't seen any of his recent stuff.

What I really like to see in a candidate for president is some experience as the chief executive of a large organization, such as governor of a state, general, or maybe CEO of a large corporation. Of course generals have a rather mixed record as president. Some have been pretty good, some have been horrible. A couple of the early ones (William Henry Harrison and Zachary Taylor) died too soon after taking office to really evaluate their abilities.

Governor of a large state would be great experience. But CEOs focus narrowly on making profits for stockholders, not the best training for public service. Imagine Rex Tillerson as president. And he's probably better equipped than most. Generals are accustomed to saying "Do this!," and being answered "Yessir!" Not much preparation for politics. Mattis might make a good president because of his exceptional personal qualities, not his stars. But Kelly, McMaster, Petraeus, McCrystal? Catastrophe.

Why did you not care much for Buttigieg?

I hope when Biden wins he get a good cabinet spot. If he gets a few years older and has some experience in federal government, I think he could be the 2024 nominee and President.

He is very sharp and quick. He knows what he is doing. But I think he needs some experience.
 
Military life, especially for a general, is so different to civilian life that I don't think they really understand what it's like to be a civilian.

I didn't always aree with his political stances but I think Pete as a politician is great. I am of the belief that if Pete wasn't gay, he'd be the Democratic nominee and Trump would be down by 20 points. No Democrat that I have seen goes on FOX and regularly wipe the floor with them. And he does it with a smile.

I agree with this, but what's the point? How is that relevant to Biden?

Agreed. Being a governor is good experience. Being a general is not government experience nor is being a CEO.
 
Anyway, Brainster, scanning this thread, the answer seems to me to be:

Nobody cares!

Trump is that bad that nobody cares what comes next.

I think Sam Harris said, back in 2016, if the choice was Donald Trump, or someone in America picked completely at random then he is going with Door Number 2.

If Biden wins, he will be the first president from the Silent generation.

Kamala Harris (born in 1964), is still a ... Baby Boomer (by 2 months, admittedly :) ).

Buttigieg is Generation X.

Mayor Pete would be a great choice for press secretary. That would give him a good national and international stage as well.

Should Biden win, he’ll be a one termer (due to age), after which it’ll be Kamala in 2024. She picks Pete for VP, then after eight years he goes for the glory.
