Well, you won't get your chance as mayor Pete's got a snowballs chance in hell. Most likely it will be the schoolmarm and the fat Orange guy debating.
Don’t write Pete off yet. Remember, everyone thought Trump didn’t have a “snowball’s chance in hell” of beating Hillary. Pete is slow and steady. His poll numbers are up in Iowa. Just you wait and see...

Yeah, I guess time will tell. I was wrong about Trump every step of the way.
Generally, older people do have more experience. However, Bernie and Joe are too old. Bernie just had a heart attack. You are probably too young to remember when President Eisenhower had a heart attack. It was a huge deal. Trump is too old, too, at age 73, and he repeats himself a lot. There’s some dementia there. Elizabeth Warren does have a lot of energy at age 70. She’s too far left to win.
We need a moderate candidate who is smart and willing to have a cabinet of experienced people to give him advice which he will consider and take heed. We need an honest person that we can trust to try to do what is best for our country and our citizens.
I pray that we get these qualities in our next (new) President.
Older people tend to rehash the same ideas over and over again we need new ideas, etc.

As opposed to the pompous arse we have in office now.
What is sad is that the more extreme, the more crass and nasty a candidate is, the more appeal that candidate has. Moderates, candidates who can have a cross-partisan appeal, they don't get elected. The extreme ones get elected. I think this says something about the state of society we're at.
I think that there's a big difference between appeal and just getting attention. Trump got attention but he had ideas which worked and the powerful move towards him in the rust belt demonstrated that. The Dems are scrambling to say the most outrageous things to get attention. Backed by no ideas or a plan (or experience) it wont translate to appeal imho. Warren, Buttawhatever, Bern and others have not yet figured this out. Americans want a very experienced leader. None of them have that...and Biden?....well he and Hunter boy may as well start fishing.
Then why are you in this thread and other anti-Trump threads?
BTW, you said you're an "independent" From your posts you are, it seems, very left wing.
Sorry, registered Independent. Have voted for MANY Republicans over the years, and even recently in local elections. I have moderate views of what should matter. Lower the deficit, work with our Allies, balance the Budget. Work with the pharmaceutical companies to try to lower the cost of prescription drugs, no crazy tax cuts for the top 1%. Personally, I'm for fixing Obamacare instead of instituting some new healthcare plan.
Right now I absolutely hate having Trump as our President and think he is doing a positively AWFUL job. I couldn't believe a clown was elected. I'm so disappointed that so many, apparently otherwise decent people, voted for him and still continue to support him. All I can figure is that they are not keeping up with what he's really doing?!!

So, do you consider Trump an experienced leader??
