    He didn’t say probably. He said he wasn’t sure. Those are two vastly different things.

      Fine, the implication drawn by hand wringers and the GOP will be the same. They don’t care about your semantics.

        They don’t care about truth and reality either. If you play the game of addressing every GOP slander and lie you’ll lose every time. They just keep flinging crap at the wall in the hopes something sticks. They don’t care how many buckets it takes.

          addressing every GOP slander and lie

          I’m not doing that, I’m just saying it’s unhelpful to give them ammunition that is or could be specifically age-oriented or imply retirement, etc, when that’s the absolute number one attack point by the opposition, Dem or GOP. This isn’t hard to understand.

            And I’m saying it’s pointless to worry about ammunition when they just make everything up anyway. Playing defense doesn’t work. You’re looking at this statement purely defensively. You need to look at it and spin it offensively. “I care so much about this country and protecting it from blatant fascism that I’m going into the breach once more.” That’s the sentiment.

              Goddamn some of you are exhausting. Since you can’t get over it, I’ll just block your dumb ass.
