Thing is they would likely all beat Trump
Unlike Biden! I was being a little facetious with the names but this kind of person will draw votes as they do likes on Instagram and clicks on Youtube.

That's not realistic and 60 is no age really these days.Any elected world leader should be within a certain age bracket, say 35-60 years old.
Need life experience but also need to be this side of 60 to avoid anyone questioning them because of their age.
Aye, I know. Yep, they would, and that's (social media impact) is controlling the world more and more.Unlike Biden! I was being a little facetious with the names but this kind of person will draw votes as they do likes on Instagram and clicks on Youtube.
You're right in what you're saying, to a degree, but peoples combination of energy, performance, knowledge an earnings peak tends to be 40's-50's and that age bracket is most representative of the adult population. It doesn't make much sense going any older than that, it's isolating voters.That's not realistic and 60 is no age really these days.

The thing is, you need people in the 40's-50's to have experience at the top level too, and if they don't have that then they need to find a way to make sure it happens. The problem to me seems to be that the experience isn't being passed on, as people are holding onto jobs far longer than they should be, not letting the younger folk get the experience, which has a bad long term impact.
It's the same in any line of employment, or any company, loads of time there's an old guy hanging on forever, trying to retain all control, and when they finally give it all up, too late, then there's no-one behind to run it, as they've not had enough time with responsibility.
35 is too young I think, particularly for a man.Any elected world leader should be within a certain age bracket, say 35-60 years old.

Maybe, but it works both ways, you have to be realistic too. Why should an older guy be doing the job a younger guy could do better? The same way you wouldn't give it to a 35 year old if a 55 year old could do better.What you’re advocating is age discrimination
Well US law says you must be 35, so they already have rules regarding the age of the president.What you’re advocating is age discrimination
By 35 you could have completed education and had a very good and distinguished career before turning your hand to politics.35 is too young I think, particularly for a man.
Most are still daft lads at heart, doing things for a laugh.
45 at least.
It's ridiculous. It really is.81 vs 77. The mind truly boggles
Average life expectancy in the US is 77. So Trump v Biden has two fellas already looking over their shoulders. Private health and a healthy lifestyle obviously helps but surely you want someone in the prime of their life and not worrying about if their next meal is their last. 35-60, 40-65, whatever it may be i definitely think there should be something there.That's not realistic and 60 is no age really these days.
He'll have a million advisers and a million stats guys telling him that it's not working, so he would probably pull the plug himself if there's someone else who they had lined up who would get more votes. The closer they get to the election, staring at a loss, the more that pressure will ramp up.Who would actually decide if Biden runs? Is it purely down to him or can the Democrats step in? It will be interesting to see how this plays out as the longer it goes with Trump gaining traction and people jumping all over Biden's mental state, I can see Democrats becoming increasingly jumpy
Who would step in though? There is a glaring lack of alternatives. Surely they wouldn't parachute in Michelle Obama? A black female with no previous political experience, despite who she is married to?He'll have a million advisers and a million stats guys telling him that it's not working, so he would probably pull the plug himself if there's someone else who they had lined up who would get more votes.

That's the problem, and I've no idea. But it's a problem they've brewed over decades by not letting in suitable future candidates, they've been far too short sighted.Who would step in though?

Gavin Newsom would be a good choice, absolutely wiped the floor with Ron DeSantis, barely breaking into sweatThat's the problem, and I've no idea. But it's a problem they've brewed over decades by not letting in suitable future candidates, they've been far too short sighted.
Yeah, it won't happen. I still fully believe Biden beats Trump though.To replace a current incumbent president is a huge step as it basically validates all trumps nasty slurs.
It’s a bold step.
