Centrists can't seem to make it out of the primaries, on both sides.
I keep hoping that the moderate voters will get so sick of the yelpers at both extremes that they get off of their duffs and vote in some competent, logical center candidates. But unfortunately in this day and age, the yelpers seem to dominate the stage so far.
Trump is 70 and can barely keep up with his overseas agenda. Biden is used to that agenda when he was VP. Why would you think he wouldn't be alive when he was 78. That's not that old
I think a 78 year old could live long enough to fulfill his term, but I also think it's very risky to elect someone that old. Reagan was about that old when he was leaving office, and look how he was towards the end.
? Kasich is a Republican so not sure what he's got to do with this thread. He's anything but Centrist by Dem standards. His position against reproductive and LGBT rights alone put him far to the right of Dems.
I am not sure where Kasich actually stands on these issues but he takes a much softer approach to them than most Republicans. He's no Mike Pence, that's for sure. I can see somebody like Kasich challenging Trump in the primaries in 2020. If Trump even makes it to the end of his first term, he is likely to get some challengers unless there is some miraculous turnaround.
That's really old though. The kind of old where the mind starts failing, or they could go to bed one night and not wake up in the morning. I know that could happen to younger people too, but the chances of that happening to someone over 78 is much higher.
Obama was virtually unknown nationally before the 2004 Democratic Convention, and four years later he beat Hillary Clinton. And very few had heard of Bill Clinton before he ran in the early '90s. It doesn't have to be someone well known right now. Just someone charismatic and savvy enough to get through the media gauntlet.
Are you kidding me. My dad died at 93 and his mind was all intact. A number has nothing to do with anything. It depends on the person. I believe it has a lot to do with genetics too. I would vote for Biden.
What is it with you guys and Biden? The guy has run for president several times in my lifetime and never come close. And he'll be 78 in 2020 if he's still alive. No way would he win. You guys need a young candidate.

Again, nailed it.
I'm 68 y.o., the upper range of a candidate I'd vote for.
