MY FAVORITE CANDIDATES - APRIL

Here are the ages as of the geriatric candidates, March 20019:*

Bernie Sanders 78 in September (b September 8, 1941)
Joe Biden         77 in November (b November 20, 1942)
John Kerry       76 in December ((b December 11, 1943)
DonaldTrump  73 in June (b June 14, 1946)
Eliz. Warren    70 in June (b June 22, 1949)
John  Hickenlooper 67 in February (b February 7, 1952)

My favorites are (no change from March):
Favorite #1 is Beto O'Rourke  47 in September (September 26,1972).
Favorite #2 is John  Hickenlooper 67 in February (b February 7, 1952)
Favorite #3 is Amy (True Grit) Klobuchar  59 in May (May 25, 1960)

 I reserve the right to change my opinion.

Though I would love to have a president from my generation (the Depleted Generation from 1930-1945, i.e. the Great Depression and WW-II), I feel that Bernie Sanders and Joe Biden chances should be over.  As I have  written elsewhere, I don't know what happened to the Baby Boomers, Remember when Baby Boomers back in the 1960s used to say "You can't trust anyone over 30."  Now they seem to say, "You can't trust anyone younger than 70.*

Some other candidates are: Cory Booker will be 50 in April (April 27, 1969), Kirsten Gillibrand will be 53 (December 9, 1966), Kamala Harris will be 55 in October (October 20, 1964) plus Julian Castro 44, Pete Buttigieg 37, Tulsi Gabbard 36

I have heard Mayor Pete Buttigieg interviewed several times in the last month, and he is very impressive.  On the Morning Joe news program, O'Rourke, Kamala Harris and Buttigieg have been referred to as political athletes.

Very Interesting write-ups
