Bernie is too old, and didn't pull his weight when he had the chance...
This is silly .It's too early to even have a program for this game.
2020 will be a panic election, which means tons of bad decision making. Either Mueller report will come late enough to be a post mortem for US, or just in time. The place is on fire and it won't be getting better. I expect it will be won by a couple of white guys who aren't too scary. When the house is on fire, you want a fireman, not a firefighter (whatever the gillette ad teaches us, it shows how hard we resist evolution), but a fireman. Officer Friendly from 1980. So no girls, no brown people, nobody with weird ideas. A good smile and a few lines on his face. That's what we're going to pick, qualified or not. Pence looks like an undertaker. Kasich Romney is a winning ticket, maybe Biden Beto, because logic will be paralyzed. I don't want any of those guys to be president, mind you, but the bar is so low, anything would be better than Putin.
The guy who pulls you out of the fire doesn't have to be a rocket scientist, just has to have strong arms and a reassuring demeanor. Do we need someone F ing brilliant and radical, yup. That person, who may not exist, will never win in this environment.
So I propose a set of rules. including...No sitting senator is allowed to run. Their getting the majority is too important. No sitting congressperson is allowed to run, same reason. That turns it into an entirely different game.Statistics: Posted by bralbovsky — Wed Jan 16, 2019 9:57 pm
