(82,383 posts)Why is the presidency so special? We make too big a deal over it.

(218 posts)hasn't.
one is among 434 others, one is only one.
One is already the leader of the world while the other is third in line.
One is not a Democrat so who knows who the VP pick would be so that heart attack matters and the other is a solid Dem.

(11,992 posts)But yeah, it's so unlikely, that people probably don't really think about suitability to be president as a qualification for speaker.

(1,701 posts)Elders who are wise and know how to build winning coalitions through charm, diplomacy, and force-of-personality are leaders we should treasure and admire.
Those who are grumpy, self-centered, or who alienate others? Not so much.
It isn't about age, it is about character.
Nancy is a peach!

(7,947 posts)And doesn't have access to the nuclear codes or get to nominate federal judges.
And a Congressperson's term is only 2 years.
False equivalence. The damage a speaker can do is far less than a president can do, and it's easier to get a speaker out, no impeachment needed.

(8,144 posts)your points are true. However, youth is not a guarantee. JFK was chronically ill, in terrible pain. Years ago, given the state of medicine,
we had presidents in less good health than many healthy elders today.
Healthy elders in their seventies have a good chance of going on to their nineties in good health and of sound mind. Indeed, the times they are a changing. They all made it this far because they take care of themselves, have had access to top healthcare, and are genetically sound. Inexperience is not a good thing. And no, the younger candidates fall far short of the extraordinary Obama.

Criticizes moderate Dems says aoc is the leader of the party.... yet theres this eye popping number
Voters are fairly clear about what they would like from a Democrat. They prefer, by 82% to 11%, one who promises to find common ground over one who promises to fight for a progressive agenda; and they prefer a moderate over a liberal, 75% to 19%.

(2,061 posts)Moore seems to be slipping upstairs a bit. Been going on for a couple of years.
I guess this is a good question if one is all about comparing apples and oranges. There is such limited intellect in the question that its best to just let it stands. The mockery is in his own words. I cant top that level of ignorance, and I try hard.
