    I think a bigger problem for any age pol or judge is that they are a plutocracy, a tiny number of wealthy rulers, multi-millionaires, cent-millionaires (Pelosi).

    I remember when one of the appeals candidates made was "We were poor", meaning he grew up in the 1930s.

    You don't hear that anymore because recent poor stay poor for life, die younger, and don't run for Congress,

    while the wealthy stay wealthy and run the country to their benefit only, with no accountability.
    Agreed

    Henry B was one of the all-time greats. He retired at age 81.

    Helped desegregate public accommodations in SA before becoming the first Mexican-American to serve in the Texas Senate since the 1850s. Was the first Mexican-American elected to Congress from Texas in 1961. Did yeoman's work on the banking committee. Took on the Fed, investigated the S&L crisis, shepherded the Congressional bank bailout and broke the Lavoro scandal. Helped saved the FDIC from privatization when it went broke. Amazing public servant, beholden to no one but his own conscience and his own cons uents.

    Did he hang onto it too long? Probably so.

    We/RINO's/fakers finally got up and out of the bed with them. Sadly, tragically; once President Trump is put down we'll hop right back in said bed and a return to that status quo will be achieved.

    ADDENDUM:::Sweet Jesus was I all wet on this one, though, "Sadly, tragically" still remains cogent. She's losing her mind.

    I remember when her and Boxer came in, Boxer was hot then.

    whispering campaign in the liberal press

    a lot of Dems are too damn old. excepting Trump and Grassley, it's far less of a problem on the GOP side.

    Just a year and a half into his first term, Mr. Biden is already more than a year older than Ronald Reagan was at the end of two terms. If he mounts another campaign in 2024, Mr. Biden would be asking the country to elect a leader who would be 86 at the end of his tenure, testing the outer boundaries of age and the presidency. Polls show many Americans consider Mr. Biden too old, and some Democratic strategists do not think he should run again.



    It is, unsurprisingly, a sensitive topic in the West Wing. In interviews, some sanctioned by the White House and some not, more than a dozen current and former senior officials and advisers uniformly reported that Mr. Biden remained intellectually engaged, asking smart questions at meetings, grilling aides on points of dispute, calling them late at night, picking out that weak point on Page 14 of a memo and rewriting speeches like his abortion remarks on Friday right up until the last minute.


    But they acknowledged Mr. Biden looks older than just a few years ago, a political liability that cannot be solved by traditional White House stratagems like staff shake-ups or new communications plans. His energy level, while impressive for a man of his age, is not what it was, and some aides quietly watch out for him. He often shuffles when he walks, and aides worry he will trip on a wire. He stumbles over words during public events, and they hold their breath to see if he makes it to the end without a gaffe.[/COLOR]

    He's too damn old. He was too old to run in the last election already, something some of us commented on back in the primaries. But now you can't hide him and that was already embarrassing back then.

    Dems need a Newsom-Buttplug ticket or something like that...

    Buzz increasing around JB Pritzker, but he's probably not well enough known.

    I kinda like Jared Polis, the Colorado governor, but he’s probably not well known enough either.

    Most Democrats surveyed in a poll released early Monday said they would prefer a candidate other than President Biden as the party’s nominee in 2024.


    The New York Times/Siena College poll found that 64 percent of Democrats questioned said they would prefer a different candidate. Twenty-six percent of Democrats said they would still support Biden in the next presidential election.




    When asked why they would support a new candidate, 33 percent of Democrats cited age as their main reason, 32 percent said job performance, 12 percent said they will prefer someone new and 10 percent said Biden is not progressive enough.

    The Democrats have their election-year Watergate, but only Henry Gonzalez of San Antonio understands it. House Judiciary should trigger independent prosecution now.

    First generation without a guarantee of doing better than their parents, which used to be the default assumption post WWII. Chances were better than now, though. College cost a fraction of what it does now back in the 1980s and early 90s. Rent too. 1980 was an inflection point, the New Democrats of the late 1980s and early 1990s confirmed the turn when they turned their backs on the New Deal coalition in favor of corporate donors.
