If I'm honest, I was kind of split on the two, maybe slightly leaning to Warren. Depending on how this plays out it will probably push me to vote Warren now.

I don't think it matters as much in PA though. Typically it's pretty solidified at that point I believe.

Yup. I wonder if the aura effect will have negatives for Warren and Biden because of their similar ages, or if it just net positives the remaining candidates.

I hope Bernie can get back in the campaign though because we need competing ideas and approaches.

That's the net benefit of folks like Inslee too. Keep the important conversations happening. They're not just competing they're also assimilating from each other.

I don't give a damn. If Bernie makes it on the ballot when it comes down to vote in the primary, I'm voting Bernie no matter what. He's been my main man from the beginning. And yes, if Warren makes it to the general election, I'll absolutely vote for her, and happily. I'll unhappily vote for Biden in the general election. Sigh.

Wishing the best for Bernie.

I took a look and yes I know this is super early given we don't know the full extent of his situation, but if he needed to vacate his Senate seat, a special election would be held, per Vermont election rules.

Yeah I'm not voting for anyone but Bernie in the primaries. But this probably won't play well w/ people already concerned about his age.

What a disaster of a country that there are no younger leftists to take his position. The closest we have to that (if I'm being generous) is Warren, and she's like 6 years younger than him. What a fucked up country.

I guess if AOC and other House Members get sucked into a blackhole, as well as a few prominent Senate members, this statement holds up

For his sake he should just drop out. Campaigning is physically taxing but actually being the president is even worse.

My dad had stints put in at 73. 8 months later he had another heart attack. Didn't make it .

This sucks and it's also a reminder as to why you should never have politicians past a certain age. Honestly, the guy is 78. Why not have a hard cap for that? Have a law that states no one can run for POTUS past let's say 50.

Sorry to hear that Cruets . My father had a similar issue and had stents put in. That was about 5 years or so ago. He needed to rest up after, but I could never see him taking on a presidential election.

Get healthy Bern.

Also, if you can be too young to run for President, you should also have an age cutoff as well.

Can what a heart stent is and the recovery time be added to the OP or something? I feel like it's being a touch overstated by some people.

Was literally shook reading the headlines, i´m glad this seems like a minor issue. Good to see people on the Internet being positive towards him.

Stents are not minor . They are the biggest indicators to not put stress on your body from that point. It requires a life change including reducing workload and stress

You have no idea what the recovery time is unless you are Bernie's physician. Making assumptions about an individual's health based on secondhand information is very strange.

I can't get at Twitter at the moment, but... I'm usually suspicious of accounts like this. Named after a candidate.

I can find the avatar image on this instagram account, apparently someone who was on Naked and Afraid (Discovery TV show). Would... they create a twitter account with the name "klobucharbabe"? For someone who's been on a cable TV show, wouldn't they use their actual name at least for publicity's sake? Didn't notice any political content on a few pages of their Instagram, or a link to that twitter account.

Not going to deny there are actual folks out there who would be this openly callous, but this just screams "not a real account" to me. (There were plenty of efforts in '16 by fake accounts to sow discord among Democratic voters.)

rofl what

So basically, you don't want anyone with proper experience to be heading the Executive Branch, cause most people under 50 don't really have the qualifications to be running.

Doesn't exactly quell my concerns about the age of this field, but at least he should be perfectly able to recover from this

50 is absurd but a cap of 67 would be pretty reasonable imo, so that 75 is the oldest you could ever be as President.

I love Sanders and what he's done, but I do think it's best that he drop out. I rather he drop out to recover and serve in Congress rather than kill himself running for president.
