Didn't trump make a tweet saying "Democrats won't help him" if they gain control of the senate? I can't find it but I swear I remember reading it not so long ago. E:  They think they're going to the vet, but they're going to the Park.

He probably has other reasons. People are definitely jumping to some big conclusions about these sorts of things these days. In fairness though, even the growing likelihood that Democrats may reclaim the House could be an incentive not to run again since it sucks to be the minority party.

Yeah wouldn't want to risk a senile president, let's nominate someone less likely to beat Trump to make sure there's not a demented old man in the White House.

BRISTOL PALINS BABY posted:I am so loving bored of Donald Trump. This has been going on since 2015. I'm over it. Can we get a new TV president now? The last season was barely believable. This honestly. The next few years are just going to be the same old antics and you can tell even his base is getting tired of this dance albeit at a much slower rate than the rest of the world. Everthing gets old when it's forced on you day after day for years.

I know the Senate was supposed to be the stolid "Wise Old Men" model of governance in opposition to the rambunctious and possibly easily swayed by their electorate Reps, but man alive we don't need more than a few folks eligible for Medicare/retirement in the body politic, much less 80 year old drecks of dying flesh shaping policy.

Uncle Wemus posted:Is this the normal amount of politicians to be retiring There's definitely an uptick of people resigning because of scandals and people resigning because they can't win with Trumpism. But that doesn't mean there aren't some usual cases of people just deciding to hang it up for personal, business, or political reasons. You seek higher office. You seek a more profitable position you secured while in office. You just get tired of it. There's more reasons than Trump or scandal to quit. But Trump and scandal are definitely in the mix.

Normally I'd agree, but empathy and humanity appear to have skipped a generation or two so until millenials become eligible it's either old Silent Generation socialists, or Boomer and Gen X trash. Also unlike the other choices, Bernie would definitely win, and the current president is an oldman fascist.

It's amusing how empty liberal politics are. 2016: Bernie's policies aren't important because he'll never win and winning is all the matters so you need to be okay with worse policies for the sake of winning. 2020: Now Bernie has the best policies and best chance of winning, but ewwww old people

VitalSigns posted:Truth hurts. It's not ewww old people, it's hey great for Bernie that he's in good shape for his age but this is kind of a job where you'd want to have a great deal of certainy the guy isn't going to drop dead during the campaign or his term in office, or even that he won't be dealing with cognitive impairment or ill health. It's a hard job for anyone, and even at middle age people are complaining about how much less energy they have to stay up late and poo poo. There are genuine problems with an 80 year old president that can't be handwaved away by pretending people just don't like the elderly, and our oldest presidents are prime examples of why. Also it's way too early to say he has the best chance to win, since we don't know who the other candidates are yet and if his age would become an issue. Arguably presenting a contrast with Trump's advanced age would be nice though, and obviously Bernie can't do that even if his own advanced age doesn't become an issue.

Trabisnikof posted:They didn't vote for House Delegates to thumb their nose at Trump They did though. They were polled, and negative feelings towards Trump were a motiviation for a decent chunk of voters. This is going to amaze you, but plenty of people don't vote based on a clear understanding of what their candidate can and can't do. Plenty of them vote to send a message, and plenty of them wanted to send a 'gently caress trump' message. https://www.washingtonpost.com/loca...m=.827fd7308649 gently caress that is a long URL, sorry about that.
