I really have to question if nominating a guy who's going to turn 79 before this election, will really appeal to the general population.
I mean what are the chances that people will want to elect an 83 year old to a second term?
As much as Baby Boomers make up the largest cohort demographically, is another old politician really going to have enough appeal? I mean some of these top Democrats really are Dinosaurs, in Sanders, Biden, Warren.
Obama was under 50 when he first was elected to office, and Clinton had just turned 50. Both of them were two term presidents..probably a bit too simplistic, but I think psychologically people do have their prejudices when selecting someone to do that job.
This really is an election where they can only lose it...and they look like they are really good at finding ways to do this.
