I’m OK with Harris. Not thrilled, but OK.

It would have been nice to get Warren. Sanders has the same age issue (though is still mentally there in interviews) as Biden, and that window has closed. So many people at the federal level have clung to their positions for so long, it feels like as a country, we wouldn’t be familiar with people in the primes of their life actually running the show.

At 45, I shouldn’t still be waiting for my generation to have any level of power. AARP is coming for me in 10 years.

      I think he’s way too smart to run for president. And he’s covered politics long enough that he also knows better.

        I don’t care man. Just kidnap him and throw him on stage at the DNC and say “yo man we need you, say something”

        It would everyone. It’s like Bernie Sanders, or Ron Paul.

        The average American, against all odds, is actually not as stupid as the media would like them to be. I still remember Ron Paul talking sense about the Iraq War and this WILD applause from the audience, and all the other candidates and all the media just looking confused and alarmed by it, like WTF he’s not supposed to say those things, that’s not the allowed viewpoint, why are they LIKING it when he says it, we gotta get rid of this guy like RIGHT NOW.
