      By that time he’ll be 69. I know that’s not unpresidented ~(fully intended)~ but I’d still rather see him as president before he’s fully geriatric.

          If Dems win the I feel like Republicans are gonna have a period of recalibration as they move away from maga politics.

          One can hope at least.

            I figured so when they lost in 2008, but they doubled (quadrupled) down on the party shit and stuff in 2016 and won.

            I have absolutely no expectations they’ll start getting introspective and sane.

            Which is a shame, having a sane, working-in-good-faith opposition party is - generally - a very good thing.

              2008 they ran their most honest, honorable, and classy candidate in modern history. And he lost.

              So they stopped trying to be honest, honorable, and classy.

                He lost partly because they added the stupid tea party candidate to the ticket.

                Plus Obama was a goddamn phenomenon at the time.

                You’re right, but still.
