U.S.—A new candidate has come out of nowhere to surge in the polls in the Democratic primary, and she’s only six years old. Susie Peters of Minneapolis, Minnesota, was on a local news segment where children gave their opinions on world problems, and she asked, “Why can’t we just give everyone everything they want for free?” The message quickly went viral and really resonated with Democratic voters, propelling Susie from unknown to third in most polls, ahead of Bernie Sanders and just behind Elizabeth Warren and Joe Biden.

 

"She really has a plan for everything,” said Melinda Carlson, one of Susie’s enthusiastic supporters. “While Elizabeth Warren only has a plan for getting people free health care and free college, Susie has a plan to get everyone free everything. She’s truly a visionary.”

Susie has unveiled her new popular campaign slogan, “But I want it!” and has already qualified for the next Democratic presidential debate.

and usher him off the national stage.  Early stage dementia, forgetful, or just butt stupid; for his own sake, convince the guy to step out of the limelight.  His wife is a MD and she lets this campaign charade go on....?

 

A big problem is that many have begun demanding that our politicians essentially be entertainers too.  Maybe there are just too many interviews and videos to expect anyone to be constantly flawless.  We don't really need a professional TV personality/entertainer like Don Rickles or Rodney Dangerfield as president.  We have many other places to get our entertainment.

 

In a president, I think we need a whole host of typically named leadership qualities - vision, ability to unite, strong but empathetic, honest, intelligent but surrounded by experienced advisors, etc, etc.  Notice that 'entertainer-in-chief' is not in that list of required qualities.

 

Can you imagine anyone winning an on-stage insult contest with Rickles?  Not happening, right?  So, if we look at at political debates for insult entertainment rather than for policy vision and leadership qualities, will that perspective help us pick the best leader?  

 

I certainly am not sold on Biden and as an independent I will not vote in the primaries anyway.  I will have to see who survives to Nov 2020 but please keep in mind that the wittiest, fastest talker, or best insult comic may be entertaining to watch on TV but he/she may not make the best leader.

Tibs still doesn’t get it. Biden can win NY and California by 50 million to zero and he still doesn’t get to be President. We don’t select a president by national polls or popular vote. 

 

Tibs figured everything out at 5 years old, has nothing to learn since

  That is no way to talk to one of the very few people who do not have you on ignore. 

 

For the rest of us, whenever we see a thread full of:

You've chosen to ignore content by Tiberius

 

It's like when a tree falls in the woods and nobody is there to hear it make a sound.

 

And then somebody quotes him :wallbash:
