Watching the Returns Come In....

That is a valid concern, though if he is in good health and fit enough to carry out the duties I don't see why his age should stop him. Queen Elizabeth is still fit to rule, and she will soon be 90.

@Ruby3881 Yes but the Queen is more of a figurehead

@Ruby3881 @irishidid is right, the Queen is not the one who really rules the country. It's the same in Italy, the Italian president it's only a representing figure, it's the Prime Minister who does everything. Can you imagine a 80 year old man running around the world to follow all the different meetings? I think that it should be a "pension age" also for the Politicians.

You don't sound very sure....

Even if Trump gets the nomination?

@Ruby3881 Even if Trump gets the nomination.

@irishidid Oh wow, I guess you really don't like either of them! (And I do think a nose plug may be in order, come November...) What would you be looking for, if you could create the ideal candidate?

I think I commented on your discussion. But I forget, what were your reasons for preferring Hillary? I know a lot of people do because she's a woman. And there are still some who support her because they liked Bill. But I honestly haven't heard anyone give any reasons why they think she's the better candidate. (I've heard people say they support her because she isn't socialist like Bernie, but that's about it.) I personally wouldn't vote Hillary because of her connection with corporate America, and because she's spent most of her life jockeying for the best political advantage. She always claims she's not a "natural politician," and that may well be. But I get a very strong feeling she's rarely done anything - from leaving the Republican party to marrying Bill, and beyond - without considering how it would affect her political career.
