Given the importance of this election, with the very future of our democracy hanging in the balance, and dirty tricks, dirty money, and enemies foreign and domestic (e.g., Trump, FoxNews, Republican Party) certain to tarnish the election process with disinformation and vote tampering; plus the number of unprecedented crises the next president will face – ones that will demand energy, stamina, fresh ideas, and two terms to even begin to address – it just seems to me MADNESS that voters are supposedly giving top consideration to 3 candidates over the age of 70, with two of them, already 77/78 years old, hitting the age of 80 in their contemplated first term; and that anyone at all is giving serious consideration to Bloomberg, who is the same age as Sanders and Biden. If there were ever a time that we need fresh blood, it's NOW!

with Mayor Pete setting the standard for the next as VP perhaps.

All of our candidates are the best, and while President will not be there for all but one, they are all worthy of high office in Justice, State or many other positions!

He is a mayor of a small town and that does not qualify him to be POTUS

I have no doubt that Mayor Pete will be offered a job in Biden's administratiom where he can get some real experience

But don't read to much into national polls. The movement will all occur in the early states for a while. And we have yet to have a single poll in the early states that could be used for a candidate to qualify so far in December.

Quite frankly we have had no real high quality polls that would tell us much for almost a month.

Add them up and the population of New York, or Los Angeles or Chicago is larger.

We just do not have a representative government when a small amount of religious zealots can override the majority of the rest of us!

I am sorry but small town values just do not apply in major cities.
