Also, a point is a general term, it doesn't mean fact, it can also mean opinion, but if it makes you feel better, then my opinion still stands.
It's pointless to say "65 and older" because she isn't 65, that's as relevant as saying 15 and older, or 50 and older......either way she's past that. Why play semantics and not just call her what she is?

And she isn't Trump. Like I said, Trump is an anomaly. I doubt we'll see anyone 70+ get into office any time soon after him. That's like saying the next President after Trump could be a billionaire just because he is, when in fact that has never been the case. Historically speaking anyone 70+ going into office has only occurred twice, it's pretty rare.

And for the record, I said "shrouded in fact", you simply made an opinionated statement lacking any evident fact, therefore not making any "point" at all.

My follow up response still stands as is.

Jim Webb. He is probably the only honest prominent Democrat that is worthy of the Office of the President. And he's a Trump supporter.

If John F Kennedy Jr had not died in a plane crash, Democrats would really be pushing for him to run for president. It's hard to pick out anyone today who is not boring. The good news for Democrats is that Trump's failure will lead to the Democrats taking back the White House in 2020 no matter who they put up

Also:

The person that should have been the candidate this year.

Jim Webb

To the radical left, he just isn't radical enough!

  • Michelle Obama/Amy Klobuchar
  • Julian Castro/Corey Booker
  • Julian Castro/Kamala Harris
  • Al Franken/Jon Stewart || Jon Stewart/Al Franken
  • King Samir Shabazz/Beyonce
And Michelle O's qualifications are what exactly?

The same as Bill Clinton's wife: wife of former president, more cocksure mouth than actual political brains.


At least Mr. Obama wasn't caught sticking his various cigars in various orifices.


This election cycle has clearly shown that the US electorate is wisely sick to death, to death, of establishment dynasty candidates (ask Jeb and Hillary), which should be prohibited in a Constitutional amendment anyway.

Besides, I think OpinionInOcala was being facetious.

Jeff Merkley and Tulsi Gabbard could be a good ticket.

I was indeed being facetious. Although, I wouldn't necessarily consider Michelle Obama off limits for 2020. The fringe-left could cry discrimination even louder, mobilize the ghetto, and assure the mourning college students that it's safe to leave the womb again.
