    Honestly, I don’t think I’d want to see him as the presidential candidate next. He’s very young and after being president you are mostly spent as a politician. Look at Obama. He could have had a longer productive career if he hadn’t been president as early as he was. Talarico I’d hope to see for two or three full cycles as a Senator. If he’s then elected president he’d still be young, but more experienced.

      At the same time you constantly hear Amercans complaining that their politicians are too old and too out of touch.

        The president should be older though, and experienced.
        If it came to a 50 year old vs a 35 year old, I’m voting for the older guy. The younger will be spending too much time on Tik Tok.

      Getting Obama out of politics quickly was good. Minus the whole he led the country to trumpism part.
