6. I agree. He's not too old. Reagan was old. He was older than Bernie during his second term and Republicans loved him.
That was near the latter half of his second term. All three leading candidates - Hillary, Trump, and Bernie - would be older than Reagan was at first inauguration, and Bernie has a decent lead on the other two.
Not that I think it's a reason not to elect anyone, because I have plenty of legitimate issues with Sanders, but I just wanted to point out that it really is a thing.

Oh, I hadn't realized that. So that means we'll probably break a new record this election?
I'm getting tired of the "Bernie is leading more than Hillary against these Republicans" argument because it's not that legitimate. So, I thought I'd share this: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/...lity-argument/
If you like Bernie, that's fine. But don't use that argument when the official primary voting hasn't even begun. It is way too early to try to calculate that.
Age is fair game. The presidency ages your mind even quicker. I'm a Hillary supporter and even I would be a bit concerned for her health if she were to have two terms.

Good article. Honestly I never bought into the whole "Bernie isn't electable" argument. This isn't the 1950s so the word "socialism" shouldn't throw people off (which is what some detractors used as the main reason for his electability issues). Still think Clinton has a better chance but we will see
The Democratic debate is tomorrow no? Wow the dems picked the most horrible time slots for debates and they don't have enough
Before everyone prematurely celebrates the Iran deal, be very careful of using it as a milestone marker of obamas success. If you have read Soviet USA relations books about nuclear programs (like The Dead Hand which I highly recommend) you would know the Soviets were able to hide the extent of their nuclear AND chemical weapons programs even after the salt and salt 2 treaties. I wouldn't be surprised if Iran has the capability to do the same.

That was 30 yrs ago tho. Surely technology to detect nuclear operations has become more reliable and pervasive.
But most of irans uranium was sent to Russia. Thats the part that seems shady to me tbh

I don't know. I'm not convinced that this is going to halt Iran from pursuing and getting a nuclear program. It has a great potential to be a big blow to Obama's legacy as a president. I guess only time will tell
I've been checking conservatives sites, and they are so obsessed with ideological purity. Constant "you're not a real conservative!" accusations. Maybe that's one of the reason you can't expand the party?

This election isn't about who's the most conservative or liberal. It's about whose policies would be best.
Are you guys still sure you want to support Clinton?
ill take Demi over these obnoxious feel the bern facebook friends who don't see the irony in how similar to Donald trump they are in their obsession with polls.

Conservatives are scary.
I went to Breitbart once (bc it was linked to some article I was reading) and the comments section...WOW.
I've never seen so many angry white men. They hate blacks, they hate Hispanics, they hate women. Poor Chucko.

In the meantime you can at least give him credit. or maybe you just dont care about those 4 prisoners
