Bernie is one of two senators of the second smallest state in the Union. So this state has two senators and a representative in congress and it has a population of greater Tulsa OK.

There are actually only four states with over 90% White Non-Latino population with no ethnic tension or large scale immigration.
Maine
Vermont
West Virginia
New Hampshire

There are seven other Senators that are older than Bernie.

Dianne Feinstein June 22, 1933 1992–present California Democratic 86 years, 230 days
Chuck Grassley September 17, 1933 1981–present Iowa Republican 86 years, 143 days
Richard Shelby May 6, 1934 1987–present Alabama Democratic (1987–1994) Republican (1994–present) 85 years, 277 days
Jim Inhofe November 17, 1934 1994–present Oklahoma Republican 85 years, 82 days
Pat Roberts April 20, 1936 1997–present Kansas Republican 83 years, 293 days
Patrick Leahy March 31, 1940 1975–present Vermont Democratic 79 years, 313 days
Lamar Alexander July 3, 1940 2003–present Tennessee Republican 79 years, 219 days
Bernie Sanders September 8, 1941 2007–present Vermont Independent/Democratic caucus 78 years, 152 days

Life expectancy in the US has pretty much flat lined over the past few years. Few people live into their 80's without noticeable reduction in either their mental or physical capabilities, or both.


And if Bernie spent the next 8 years as a Senator, he would still be younger than Dianne and Chuck. We've had a Senator retire just weeks before his 99th birthday.

But being the POTUS is a very demanding position.

I like Klobuchar/Buttigieg from an 'electability' standpoint.


You mean they don't stand a chance
of being elected? She's boring and
frumpy, and ButtCrack is a total
phony corporate hack. He's the king
of 'bland-speak'. Ever listen to him
talk? He can go on and on for 5min
and say absolutely nothing but
platitudes and empty rhetoric. They
wouldn't have a chance, a boring
frumpy mom and her Gay boring son.
If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose.

If Democrats unite to defeat Trump, and then keep in mind we can still fight for or against policies if we get a the Democrat candidate we agree with the least, it’s still a better outcome than any scenario with Trump in it.
You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really?

Shots at what,...


Democratic Nominee in 2020, silly goose. Ya know... the topic? =p

I ain't mad enough at Trump to forget Democratic faults, though I may choose to ignore them. But it seems the current tops are Warren, Sanders and Pete. That's one toady, and he's too young and too gay to commit all faith unto him. Plus, as I said, both B&B have that name recognition. You saw the Mayor Pete supporter who somehow got this far not realizing his orientation. People are stupid. I think B&B's current chances are both measured in the low single digit percentages now? They'll be >35% before you know it. In the face of all that is good and holy, they'll be >35%.

How about keeping the right to bear arms but limiting exactly what arms one can bear?


How about no? =)
Be bold and risk defeat, or be cautious and encourage it.

Bloomberg on Twitter, saying that he and Trump "know many of the same people in NY."

Quote:
"Behind your back they laugh at you & call you a carnival barking clown," Bloomberg continued. "They know you inherited a fortune & squandered it with stupid deals and incompetence. I have the record & the resources to defeat you. And I will."


Hooray. Finally, someone taking on the most ridiculous of Trump mythology. He's not respected by his peers. He is a carnival barker clown. He's not a financial genius or a stable one. I'm glad someone is saying this, instead of just pointing out he's a liar and a fraud.

I like that Bloomberg is able to get so deep into Donny’s head.

As a businessman, Bloomberg is everything Donny wishes he was. Even the biggest Trumpsters will have a hard time pretending Bloomberg’s business career hasn’t been way more successful...

They're already doing that, making fun of his height, as if somebody can control that. As opposed, of course, to being a fat slob.

So he's not really worth 3.1 billion
like Forbes says? He squandered
what he got from his father and
has nothing? (if you include what
his brand is worth, it's closer to
$6 billion)
How did Trump pull this off, he
even fooled Forbes. Quick,
somebody call them.. snicker..

Doesn't mean he is broke. Or that no one gave him big loans to recover from his losses.
