Maybe somewhere in history there's an example, but not in my history, which goes back now over 40 years in the Democratic Party.
I think they just said, listen, this is somebody who we're going to be dealing with probably as president, so let's go along for the ride.
And I really think that happened, and it rose particularly at important times during the campaign and beat back Bernie on a number of fronts, including our effort, for example, to connect him with the African-American community and in other ways that I think we could have moved forward.
So I think the press was complicit.
And not everybody in the press, but many in the press and many organizations in the press.
And I think, you know, that's part of the unfairness that held him back.
Well, listen, I don't think, you know, he will be a strong candidate even if he goes out and does, you know, 100 push-ups or, you know, runs around.
You know, I mean, has the greatest medical exam that anybody his age.
I mean, he's 84 years old now.
He turns 85 in September.
He'll be 87 in 2028.
He'll be 95 when he finishes his second term.
I just think, you know, we've had, you know, a president in Joe Biden who –
the country figured out was too old to be president.
We have a president today of Donald Trump, who I think the country is figuring out is not only too old, but is too awful in every single way to be president.
And I just don't think they're going to go for somebody who could be 95 at the end of his second term.
Now, having said that, I do want to say that I think the message...
that he delivered in 2016.
That same message that America has a rigged economy held in place by a corrupt system of campaign finance is as powerful or more powerful within the Democratic Party and I think within the broader electorate than anything anybody else is saying.
Well, I think a lot of people can, you know, you know, you know, Barack Obama was a state senator at this point in time, you know, you know, and before the 2008 election, you know, I mean.
