Reid: Dem 2020 class looks like an 'old folks' home'
By Mallory Shelbourne - 12/27/16 10:01 AM EST
The prospective class of Democrats who could run for president in 2020 is shaping up as an "old-folks home," according to retiring Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.).
Reid made the remark earlier this month when asked by an aide whether he might support a White House run by Vice President Biden, according to New York Magazine.
In response to the question, Reid mentioned the age of several prominent Democrats who are talked about as likely candidates in 2020.
It depends on whos running, Reid told his staff. It appears were going to have an old-folks home. Weve got [Elizabeth] Warren; shell be 71. Biden will be 78. Bernie [Sanders] will be 79.

My guess is they try to recruit some lefty Hollywood icon for 2020. Someone like a Tom Hanks.
White Males need not apply
Males of any color....................
The Dems have many tech business CEOs whom they could field. Many of them will be in their 40s, 50s and 60s in 2020.
The Dems have many Entertainers/Celebrities they could run. Many of them are “young”.
Moo/Carlos Danger 2020!
Tulsi Gabbard and Cory Booker.
Cuomo has cooked his reputation, as I understand it from afar. One of the young hispanic San Antonio Castro brothers seems like a likely choice for Dems, if they still want to play their minority card.
I suppose, however, after a few months of Trump democratic drubbings and swelling popularity they'll realize what they're up against and what they can not repeat and drop the minority appeal in favor of traditional dems, unions, working peeps. Don't forget, too, every senator thinks they should be president. I'll predict Schumer.

Then again, we practically already have gone fully ‘round the bend. Let’s see if Trump can at least get the car to stop and maybe even reverse a few feet before the inevitable happens. again.
He (Trump) has four years
The mistake is the focus on Trump. If Icahn, Adelson, Koch and all the big businessmen and small businessmen who gave billions to Trump and Cruz, Rubio, Carson, etal... If businessmen would put that same money into employment, into expanding their business, then the economy will be strengthened. The businessmen might realize a big profit... or break even.
Well, most of them backed losers that past 9 years. So they lost their total investment then. How much better if they break even on a new hiring wave?
...It honestly appears that every year they become a little bit more of the lunatic fringe party...
The eaiest born Snowflake millennials will be 35 and over and eligible to run for President. That’s really scary.
STFU and die.
At least no one seems to be talking about the Castro brothers any more, Julian or Joaquin. And Raul will be too old.
They MUST go with a woman. The democrats only care about historic firsts. Doesn’t matter who it is as long as it is the first. Obama claimed full blackness so they have their first half white president. Now they have to have a female. It’s going to be Moochelle, if she takes the pay cut from her new no show jobs January 21st 2017. OR, they run an uber-celebrity like Beyonce Knowles with Heap High Cheekbones as veep.
No Californians......................
Yes
The Democrat party is a bunch of old white crooks.
I know it is true because
AN OLD WHITE CROOK TOLD ME SO.
Not only the pot calling the kettle black, but also it takes one to know one.
Yes, I forgot about the referendum in 2019...California will have left the Union before the next election.
That’s on the VOTERS as they keep sending back the idiots who promise them the most FREE CHIT!!!
