The Man Who Would Be President

@George-K said in The Man Who Would Be President:

We are days away from electing a man who will probably not finish his first term.

I think a lot of people understand that, and this thread should properly be titled "The Woman Who Would Be President."

I'm not sure I buy that. People were saying much the same things about HRC four years ago, and also about John McCain when he ran.

They also said it about Trump's attempts to drink a bottle of water unaided and walking like a maroon down the gangplank.

I've said many times that I think both of them are too old to be running, but I'm not at all convinced by the senility schtick.

Remember what the stress of being President can do to you... HRC's fine now, but she's been able to stay out of the news for much of the last 4 years...

You really don't see a lot of that with Trump, not that I can see anyway. It surely aged Clinton, Bush and Obama.

When Reagan ran, people were concerned that at age 70, how well would he do? Had Bernie Sanders won this election, he would have been nearly 80 when accepting the office. Whatever one thinks of Trump's politics, he's in his element when he's selling - and the past few days have been an amazing performance of endurance. Being younger than all of those folks, I wouldn't relish the challenge of keeping a campaign schedule. My father was doing pretty well from 80-85, but then he had some surgery and some mini-strokes and was never the same. I hope we eventually move to younger folks from both parties.

Something I think we can all agree on!

55-65, I think.

Without all the makeup, spray tan and hair dye, I bet Trump looks an awful lot older.

So do you...

There's something not right about a bloke wearing all that shit. Really. It's like a bloke wearing high heels because he's too short.

And I'm speaking as somebody who's 5' 7.

Pumps or stilettos?

Never mind. I don't think I want to know.

Trump's hairdo is the manly equivalent of fuck-me pumps, since whenever anybody sees it for the first time, they say 'fuck me, look at that hair-do!'
