Joe Biden understands intimidation on a level most soft-handed liberals do not. You kick a bully’s ass or die trying because you need to send a message not just a beat down. Biden is the kind of guy I would share a fighting hole with to the very end. Biden / Obama 2020

Joe, you wouldn’t have to use that much energy. Guys like him are all mouth and have others due his macho work.
All you would need is a feather and he would:

A member of Congress is one person among many, the President is one person making decisions. How many of these old men, were “carried” by the other men of Congress. Strom Thurmond is a good example, he could be a member of Congress at a advanced age, but would you want him to be President?
You get it!

I love Jerry Brown! He does such a no-drama, competent job of running the state. Perfect for an executive job. But maybe not perfect for campaigning. Wish people outside of CA took him more seriously.

To paraphrase the late Christopher Hitchens, “If you kicked the piss and wind out of Trumpf you could bury the rest of him in a matchbox”.
A 90-year old codger in a wheelchair could kick the orange gasbag’s ass.

Jeeze, and some people think that this putz (and perennial failure as Presidential candidate) is, or even should be, the front runner for the 2020 Democratic nomination. They could just skip the debates and go straight to white septuagenarian mud wrestling. It’d certainly save me an hour or two of my life to do something else. (That is not to suggest that Biden would not be monumentally preferable to Der Drumpfenfuhrer. Of course he would. But that is an awfully, awfully low bar.)
Who specifically do you propose for the ‘new leadership?’

As a New Yorker I’ve been a Jerry Brown fan since 1976 when I was in high school and he was dating Ronstadt.
Mo Udall also appealed to me.
Brown’s zen like demeanor and age of limits appealed to me. I voted for him in the 80 and 92 primaries and would gladly again.

A) Strom Thurmond is dead.
B) You have not answered my question.
C) You must be over 35 to even become President. Are you now suggesting there should also be a Maximum age to be elected President? If so, why?

Does that disqualify him?

Great post. It’s appreciated. And I think you are right.
Let’s see what Mr. I-would-have-run-in-to-face-the-shooter-unarmed comes back with.

hey that young Mittster is a pistol!
Sunday! Sunday! Sunday! It’s an all 'round throw down of crepuscular caucasians getting down and dirty in the muuuud.
that’s an internet rabbit-hole many would dive down.
I wonder what you would do to Clarence Thomas?.. OH… WAIT, we already know… give him a lifetime appointment to the supreme court.
I’d usually prefer politicians not mouth off like this and get all macho but Trump is such an ogreish excuse of a human being you just can’t be a wallflower when criticizing him.
Look at how Biden’s kids turned out vs. Trump’s. None of them played footsie with a foreign adversary, tweeted and liked offensive links or grifted off of others.

Are you saying that the Democrats only have people over 75 as leadership? You can’t think of anyone in the Senate or governorship that are under 60 that could run for President. I personally like Amy Klobuchar but this is the list of people that would be better then Biden or Sanders: Adam Schiff; Mitch Landrieu; Eric Holder; Andrew Cuomo; Cory Booker; Chris Murphy; Julian Castro; Terry McAuliffe; John Hickenlooper; Mark Cuban and I know there are still some in NY and California, but they have issues that I don’t support.
LOL - yes, I think Biden would be a good president. Who do you think would be a better 2020 nominee?
Among things that I look for is the skill set and experience of the candidate. What criteria do you use? Of course he isn’t perfect, no one is – but he could go against donald and win.
