The country should be run by younger souls who had old souls for parents and have raised young souls. They know where we should be headed better than 70 yo because the country should be looking to the future not the all white never to be seen again '50s. And yes I am almost 70 but believe where I would steer our country is not the country my children think about.

It's all about how Elizabeth Warren is all set to rob the retirees of all the wealth they have accumulated over their lifetime. read it.

But I really think Joe looks tired. And I'm tired of Bernie...sorry. But like most of your commenters, I'm ready for anyone but the current resident of the White House. I just hope and pray that we're not too far off a cliff by the time he's finished. The chaos is exhausting.

From that day onward, however, the current incumbent has had an opportunity to convince this nation that he is carrying out his responsibilities effectively - and has failed. This is not about refusing to accept the result of an election from almost three years ago, it's about where the nation is today, where the administration is today, and where we are going. The 2016 election is ancient history but the 2020 election is before us. The dark days are already here. Our responsibility is not to hold to our previous positions with obstinance, it's to soberly and responsibly accept that we - together as Americans - can and must do far better than the past 30 months have demonstrated.Kevinnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-626594980028435818.post-24612845370299501872019-09-10T20:27:09.294-04:002019-09-10T20:27:09.294-04:00Your people (or more precisely half of your people...Your people (or more precisely half of your people) have refused to accept the result of the last elections. This non acceptance was a bad turning point in politics, in democracy, in everything.<br /><br />I was quite shocked, still am, as America sees itself the greatest democracy on earth; she even launches bloody wars to 'install' or 'protect' democracy in other countries (see Bush jr. in Irak; Obama in his Arab Spring campaign).<br /><br />The 2020 elections could mend the dangerous divisiveness created by this non acceptance, through reelecting the current president and giving him the chance to rule. Otherwise, I foresee very dark days for America. <br />DUTAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12979375799258978432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-626594980028435818.post-75712400794660374292019-09-10T19:29:25.266-04:002019-09-10T19:29:25.266-04:00Hi Tom!

After reading Michelle Obama's book I was painfully aware that a HUGE reason that Hillary wasn't elected (oh, besides the Russian interference!) was because the younger generations saw her as just "another politician" and so they didn't vote. The person who will get elected this time around has to appeal to the young. Elizabeth might pull it off but NO to Bernie or Biden! Just my 2 cents of course! ~KathyKathy @ SMART Living 365.comhttps://smartliving365.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-626594980028435818.post-88319064187600095612019-09-10T19:24:15.599-04:002019-09-10T19:24:15.599-04:00Love this post, filled with old sayings, some of w...Love this post, filled with old sayings, some of which I haven't heard in ages.

As my 89 yr old mom would say, "sharp as a tack rather then dull as a door"... <br />I know she is only a bit younger- but I am interested in Elizabeth. Now SHE is sharp as a tack!<br /> I cannot wait for Bernie to "leave the stage". and Biden to be "shown the door" he is looking for. Both are good and faithful servants who deserve to live out their lives in the luxury that they have gained. <br />Why cannot we all get along? Have we ever????
