Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

That’s very easy to say in hindsight, you can’t really predict that sort of thing.
This but seriously, as there is a high chance you'll die at that age.
This article is like 10 days old but feels like it's about a year out of date already. What a whirlwind.
It truly does feel like it.
DNC putting their whole ass on the scale for candidates?
At least they pivoted before we got locked in with a horrible candidate. Unlike last time, Hilary.
I truly believe this was calculated. It never would have happened if they didn’t schedule that debate so early. Imagine this happening mid September.
Calculated, but epically backfired. The point of the early debate was to nip all the 'too old to run' discourse in the bud, but it did precisely the opposite.
I just think the opposite. I think the people in charge knew he shouldn’t run because of his age. There was a report that Obama and George Clooney had serious concerns after some fund raiser which led to Clooney writing that op ed after the debate.
If he gave Obama and Clooney concerns, I guarantee there were more people before that that had concerns.
Epic Miscalculation
Maybe it was 11 dimensional chess.
