You know how that would be worse than anything else to certain people.
Obviously, their personal situations mean you have too many variables we don't know.
But I saw some people work out the general numbers from the actuarial tables. The details change depending on what year you use (lots of people are skeptical of the skew caused by COVID for 2020, 2021).
But it roughly comes out to a bit less than 10% difference.
There is a bit over a 20% chance Trump dies in office if he wins and about a 30% chance of Biden dying in office.
There is no clear answer.
Anyone who has delegates could run at the convention if it happened before the official nomination.
After official nomination, it would be the one time the DNC actually COULD just name someone on their own.
How the DNC would decide to decide is completely unknown - I suspect there would be a vicious fight just about the process.
To be fair, you'd only choose people loyal to you if the other side is constantly trying to jail you for silly things.
So when Hillary lost the nomination to Obama in 2008, did you celebrate that a BLACK man had won, or did you mourn that misogyny killed Hillary's chance because a MAN had won?
I think you are overstating this. The Governor of Indiana oversees a tiny budget relative to the Federal government. There is also the massive power of the Federal regulatory apparatus. Then you get into foreign policy, defense, border control, etc.
Honestly, nothing can compare to the job of POTUS. If you simply had to pick a Governor based on their experience, it would have to be one of the big states. However, I don't believe being a Senator precludes one from being a good executive. LBJ, Nixon and even Obama were effective executives.
Clinton scaled well. As you say, there are various paths and experiences to consider. It used to be military service was unofficially mandatory as well. But my statement is still correct. Being governor is a path that does bring tools learned to scale up to the WH.
silly things? Like the phone call to Georgia asking for votes to be fabricated? What is silly about that???
It's its own job, and executive experience in government helps heaps. I'm always shocked how casually Americans think that anyone can be president. If you don't know how govt works you're going to be ineffective at best, disastrous at worse.
Lol, I'm not the one who seems to be assuming Hillary and Kamala are victims due to race and/or gender.
There really hasn't been a massively dominant requirement.
I think less than half were governors before.
A lot have been lawyers (probably more than were governors).
Around 75% had military experience, but that seems as much tied to there being a number of big wars that almost everyone was involved with. It seems to go in fashion for a generation and then fade.
Even then, they mostly had political as well and some had only a year or less military. I think only Grant and Eisenhower never had political experience before being President - just military.
I agree with you that the job is pretty unique and it isn't obvious what mix of prior experience will help you prepare.
Is that the only reason people dislike them?
Obviously not.
But pretending racism and sexism don't exist in the US is beyond delusional, Butler.
Pretending its mostly about that is also beyond delusional. They were both elected in two large states. Its their personalities people hate.
You do have a habit of mistaking your personal opinions for reality.
Although in this case, your sexism is probably in line with the general public.
You're nuts my man. Thank god we have adults to combat communism.
and thank God we had Republican voting officials who refused to cheat for Trump. Even Mike Pence refused to cheat for him. He lost, but still lies that it was a steal. Thank God we have people who still believe in democracy and fair elections.
