Bernie literally had a heart attack the guy's almost 80, his mortality is a real concern. I wouldn't say it disqualifies him obviously but...still... He's in his 70s, just like Elizabeth Warren. Bernie's fine. Better than before, now that he's dealt with the problem. He'll be back on the campaign trail very soon and, unlike Warren, he'll be fighting for Medicare for All, to eliminate medical debt, and to do away with a predatory private healthcare industry that profits off of illness and injury so that those who don't have his resources can afford to stay alive.

It doesnt need to "disqualify" him, but it is certainly a MAJOR hit to his campaign, a hit he might not recover from. And before someone tries to tell me something, im a fan of Bernie and I think he would be the best choice. But being the best choice for president doesnt mean he is the best choice to campaign against trump, he already has to go through the "socialist" stigma, adding a heart attack to the mix, I just dont know....

Besides, the way I see it, if (god forbid) something happened to President Sanders, I'm sure he'd choose a fantastic VP anyway.

HorusRa2 5,005 Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 Also: Teddy Roosevelt was shot during a campaign speech and was still elected as president afterwards. https://www.history.com/news/shot-in-the-chest-100-years-ago-teddy-roosevelt-kept-on-talking Beyond that, I think some of you all are looking at this singular incident and making a judgement call. I mean if Bernie didn’t have a history of bein very active and was more like Trump, I could understand the drama. However, all this means is that his VP choice needs to be somebody ready to be president on day 1 should something happen. And if it doesn’t, that’s great. Bernie could be a 1 term and then endorse his VP afterwards. The primary goal right now to get Trump OUT. Bernie has the best claim to do this & I think that’s more important than nominating someone younger who may not actually beat him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lion Heart 15,041 Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 I'm sorry but I think this is the beginning of the end for him. I'm not "anti-Bernie" - I am just being realistic. ▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀▄▀ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s kinda tacky and disrespectful. This is his life. His life isn’t his run. There is no Celeb tag in the World News section. And actually this does fall in the “Politics” tag since he is a politician and whatever happens with him falls in that category of news Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
