"Up with Steve Kornacki" is going on and on about how poor old Joe has such low numbers against Hillary.
In this time we live in, gender (female) trumps sitting-veep.
But even if Hillary was content to not run and to say it in no uncertain terms, I would still not want Joe to run.
I am mostly upset at how everyone is totally negating and lame-ducking the president we just re-elected not that long ago.
I am nearly 65, so I DO know the value of experience, but I also know how important it should be to have a younger person in charge...someone who grew up "digital", and who has a fuller understanding of our newer ways of working/banking/investing/communicating, etc.
No one is "owed" the presidency, and even though it might be "loverly" to see a female president, I would prefer a tech-savvy younger person.
Every time I start to focus on all the upsetting things our government does/does not do, I find myself wishing we had a better system....one where all offices are ONE-TERM... No need to campaign for re-election .. President 6 years & out..senate 6 years and out, house 4 years and out. Without the need to STAY elected at any cost, perhaps legislators would feel free to actually legislate.
