Default Will we ever have a young president?

After watching the GOP debate last night, it made me realize even more that all of our candidates on both sides suck! We need a young candidate that was born in the 70s or early 80s that cant be bought and just gets the American people and what the real problems are of todays people. Sadly though I think that will never happen.

You can't get elected if you can't be bought. I've heard estimates that the next election in 2020 may cost the average campaign $500M. This years, $4.4B has been spent on political advertising.

We need to remove the money aspect from politics.

we can't. also, you can't have someone born in the '80s now because there's a Constitutional age limit for VERY good reasons.

If Obama can fake a birth certificate about where he was born, then someone can certainly do the same about when they were born.

Cruz was born in Calgary, AB so frankly I have no clue why he's even running.

I guess that whole issue is no longer a concern

I'm still waiting on an Obama birth cert. that's not an obvious fake. The closest we've got is the one the White House claimed was a scan and put on the white house website after they spent $1.4M (at least) trying to keep the public from seeing his birth cert.



Printed in black and white, photocopied and handed out at a press conference, it looks legit enough to fool a reporter.



I downloaded it from the Man's own website and opened it with a proper .pdf editor. Many, many layers that would not be there if it were a scan. And the layers if I recall correctly were clustered around the parts that were obviously, poorly photoshopped. That sh*t was faaaaaaaaake. We may never see the legit birth certificate of President Obama. Possibly because it's in Kenya and that would be problematic for him.
