    The big problem with that is that Warren will be 75 years old in 2024.

    And people are living into their 90s :shrug:

    Off the top of my head, only one President in the 20th century has died in office of natural causes.

    Those secret service agents should have been held responsible for that :bailey:

    It's not a question of life expectancy so much as energy level. Admittedly Warren has fantastic energy for a 67-year old, but at age 75, even if you have the best health care you can and many years ahead of you, even if your mind is at 100% and relatively likely to stay there, you're much more likely to have declining and rapidly declining ability to do the job of President. I think the two candidates this year are already pushing it on age for a first term.

    I heard the same arguments about John McCain eight years ago. He's still sucking oxygen.

    Cheney has had four hearth surgery after heart surgery and no signs of keeling over yet.

    Pretty sure Bernie is in thst same age bracket, too.

    I tend to agree. Just look at how much that job ages the incumbents. It's like 8 years are 25 years when in office.

    Also, what about the young? Gerontocracy is the way we'll go but the young will need a champion of they should continue to support us geezers.

    Certainly the tail end of the Reagan administration would argue for younger presidents, and he was 69 when he took office -- although it's hard to say how much of that was age and how much was his pre-existing intellectual laziness.

    George H.W. Bush is 92 and in pretty darn good shape -- and if he for some reason had to go back into the Oval Office today, he'd probably be more mentally up to the task than W would be.

    I bet he would have handled post 911 America a lot better.

    I'm embarrassed for America right now, but that doesn't mean I don't think it's pretty great.

    Are you angry because I called you on yet another lie? You neocon shits might fool a person with no idea what a libertarian is, but I have known libertarians since you were in diapers and you don't want a libertarian because they are going to kick you and your people out of others sex lives and families. They will defend blacks, Muslims, women, glbt, Hispanics, and everyone else you want to destroy through a trump presidency. They would tell the paultards to go fuck themselves especially for trying to gain fascism and impose religious tyranny through state laws over federal.

    Neocons who are embarrassed by the damage they have done to the democrat party, the republican brand, and the teabaggers are now trying to pretend they are libertarians because they support the second amendment, and they do not support any other liberties. It is just too bad the libertarian party sold out to people like you for a couple of members and a future where their party will be the next home for the dixiecrat Klan members and paultards.

    God you're a moron. I love how you think you have everyone pegged. El Chup has caught you on this several times. I'm not a neocon and I'm not against women, gays or Muslims. If you feel so confident that you think you know me, feel free to prove it, retard.

    You have to be against gays, or against Muslims, or against both. You can't okay with both of them, except in the way that a person can like both gazelles and cheetahs. :unsure:

    At least you can finally admit I am a God. As for the rest do tell it to gturner as you are living in his fantasy world.
