I'm sure Beeto was promised some hack job.


Chief gun grabber.

Warren is going to be put in charge of Indian Affairs.

As we have moved from electing younger Presidents to old guys (President Trump being the youngest at 73), the position of Vice president seems to be elevating in importance.


Democrat Harry S. Truman became POTUS during WWII at age 60 years 339 days

Since Harry Truman, Democrats have moved from electing younger Presidents while Republicans elected older men.

R Ronald Reagan 69 years 349 days
R George H. W. Bush 64 years 222 days
R Dwight D. Eisenhower 62 years 98 days
R Gerald Ford 61 years 26 days
R Richard Nixon 56 years 11 days
D Lyndon B. Johnson 55 years 87 days
D George W. Bush 54 years 198 days

Ford was never elected.

Abrams is blacker than Harris. Expect the pressure on Biden to pick her to be intense.

I believe Klobuchar and Buttigieg weren't forced to drop out, but were just smart enough to realize that by staying in they were hurting their party. They know Sanders is a poison, while Biden is just old and senile.

I'm sure Beeto was promised some hack job.



I'd love to see a Pence/Abrams VP debate

January 28, 1947 (age 73)


Maggie Hassan February 27, 1958 (age 62)

The two female senators from New Hampshire are being mentioned as being on the short list for VP. Both of them had formally been the governor of that state.

Should we rule out Jeanne simply based on age? She is 9 months older than Hillary.

The voters haven't ruled out age and women have longer lifespans than men, so don't think we should rule her out.

I agree. It may not be fair, but the reality is Michael Pence was born on June 7, 1959 (age 60) and the Democrats are not going to look at considerably older.

Of the 17 Democratic female Senators, I think the 6 oldest are simply not contenders
1976 Kyrsten Sinema 2019 Arizona
1968 Tammy Duckworth 2017 Illinois
1966 Kirsten Gillibrand 2009 New York
1964 Kamala Harris 2017 California
1964 Catherine Cortez Masto 2017 Nevada
1962 Tammy Baldwin 2013 Wisconsin
May 25, 1960 Amy Klobuchar 2007 Minnesota
1958 Maggie Hassan 2017 New Hampshire
1958 Maria Cantwell 2001 Washington
1958 Tina Smith 2018 Minnesota
1957 Jacky Rosen 2019 Nevada
..
1950 Debbie Stabenow 2001 Michigan
1950 Patty Murray 1993 Washington
1949 Elizabeth Warren 2013 Massachusetts
1947 Mazie Hirono 2013 Hawaii
1947 Jeanne Shaheen 2009 New Hampshire
1933 Dianne Feinstein 1992 California

Catherine Cortez Masto is half Mexican and is about the correct age
