Like I said, Warren will be like 74 when she runs for president if Hillary is reelected.

Which isn't exactly too old, but it isn't ideal, and it is hard for me to see someone so old as the future of a major political party.

And as for Bernie's age, I think Bernie's ideas represent the future of the Democratic party, but it is also difficult for someone like him to be labeled as the future of the party himself just because he likely won't be in politics for another decade.

Now, if Warren was some 50 year old whippersnapper, I'd have more time believing she could be the face of the Democratic party for years to come and usher in new pratical and progressive agendas.

But I just don't see it with her, or Bernie, for various reasons.


74 just isn't that old for a woman. They take care of themselves pretty well.

True.

But if you want to talk about a really young leader in the Democratic party with a bright future, take a look at Tusli Gabbard (35 years old).

It's probably b/c she saw how difficult it was just to get the ACA passed and how Hillarycare failed in the 90s. She became more politically aware...why is that a bad thing?

So no, I don't think the money had a significant impact on her stance.


This is pretty much exactly right.
