Face it: Biden and Bernie are too old to be president
Whatever their differences, the two front-runners in the Democratic presidential race, Joe Biden, born November 20, 1942, and Bernie Sanders, born September 8, 1941, share one common trait: They are too old to be president.
And if the Dems have their way…especially Green Party candidates.

The BAR newsletter had popped into my Inbox a few days ago, and I was interested in this piece on Black Agenda Radio: ‘Greens’ Howie Hawkins is 2020’s Only Real Peace Candidate’, Bruce Dixon, April 4, 2019, which transcript was labeled with ‘Tulsi Gabbard is a Sheepdog’ before the rest of the radio title.

Good Morning!
Welcome to Tuesday's Open Thread! Today's topic comes from two concepts we don't usually pair together. The discipline of Science and the tradition of Buddhism. How they complement each other in this scientific breakthrough might surprise you.
I've been reading discussions here, speculating about what the Democratic Party's 2020 strategy could be, and all of a sudden the light dawned. I don't know what their main strategy is, but they do have a back-up plan. It's so devilishly simple. Their Plan B is literally Plan "B".
Picture the scene in the smoke-filled back room at DNC headquarters:
An email today indicates that Tulsi is only 653 new donors away from making the 65,000 goal.
She just needs 19 new donors per day through May 14 in order to make it!
Plus, Tulsi evidently has studied many martial arts since she was a kid, including Capoeira. Here is a link posted showing her do some Capoeira (she's pretty good).

I have a theory that, like many, the corruptocrat strategy is to flood the primaries with candidates and force the convention to a second ballot.
But at first look this strategy seems stupid because of the 15% rule. Look at the possible outcome:
Bernie 60%
Dork #1 10%
Dork #2 10%
Dork 3-6 all 5%
