OutByEaster? Posted September 5, 2021 Moderator Share Posted September 5, 2021 I wonder if his age will count against him. I think Biden's age is a concern and he looks unpresidential now when speaking in public, I think the US voters might be a little put off voting for a man in his late seventies because of Biden and I think the other Republican nominees will definitely play on that.

The sad thing is though none of the other Republican candidates people have been saying may run, I'm not really all that enthused about them either. The whole political arena if you will over here is ****. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s pretty much the same over here - (nearly) all politicians here are self serving, money grabbing bastards regardless of political persuasion Edited September 5, 2021 by theboyangel 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Politicians only job is to pass laws, bills, etc in order to help their citizens but yet all most give a **** about are what you alluded too. The sad thing is that I can see it getting worse before it gets better. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutByEaster? Posted September 5, 2021 Moderator Share Posted September 5, 2021 When power was moved to the banks and the corporates, the role of politicians was devalued, there's not as much actual power involved any more, so it's overtaken by people who just want to make themselves a quick buck and be famous. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think age will be a problem for Trump or his supporters (though he'll be older than Biden was last election if I'm not mistaken). What worries me is if Trump would die in the next 5 years (regardless of elections) of old age, heart failure or whatever cause there might be for an older man, his supporters will see this as a conspiracy. People over a certain age shouldn't be participating in politics anymore. How old are Pelosi, Grassley, Feinstein,...? At a certain age, you should move to the background and use your experience to help the next generation. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a problem. Harris needs to take the baton and they need to be very clever in how they do it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoelVilla Posted September 6, 2021 Share Posted September 6, 2021 The Democrats really need to nominate a good candidate. Can't risk Trump winning. It's not Biden or Harris IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

God knows what they do in 2028, hope that a charismatic governor can beat Harris I suppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fruitvilla Posted September 6, 2021 Share Posted September 6, 2021 As Harold Wilson said ... a week in politics is a long time. More than three years to go. Watching from north of the border ... I don't see Harris as being terribly active. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Based on his more recent public appearances, I'd be very surprised if Biden is still in politics in two years, he doesn't look good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
