Mark Kelly.
Navy Pilot, Navy Captain, Astronaut, Senator,, husband of Gabby Giffords, twin brother of Scott Kelly with similar resumé, and he's only 60. He and his brother can each win two terms and still be younger than Trump is now.
He also flips red states blue: he's pretty much the only Democrat who has won anything in Arizona in decades.
"only 60" - the depressing state of politics. There's a good amount of places where you'd retire before completing a single term at that age.
Agreed. I'm rather tired of the nation being run by workaholics. I want to retire someday. I want a candidate who shares that value, and builds a nation where I can do that.
Ideally, I think the oldest a candidate should be is 57 at the beginning of their first term, so that they retire from professional politics by 65.
That being said, no candidate is ever going to be perfect, and, he's still 24 years better than the current option.
Good thing China has a number of honey trap spies. I'm sure Schiff will be eager to tell them all the dirty, dirty secrets of a US President
