If we are mentioning Warren Buffett I would throw out George Soros (b. 1930) as well. Both picks seem fairly weak though besides being old and an easy obit.

Honestly, the most interesting tidbit posted in this thread in over a year. The efforts they put into eradicating diseases is truly inspiring.

It was sad indeed. As someone that voted for him especially. Glad he made the right decision and I hope he gets a few healthy years with his family.

It's been a few months aye? Time for an update! Might as well do it while I'm still around. Update: 1. @wannamaker got a hit with Barbara Rush on March 31st 2. @tracy got a hit with Dabney Coleman on May 16th 3. @ladyfiona got a hit with William Russell on June 3rd 4. @markb4 + @Perhaps got a hit with Bob Newhart on July 18th. No one else moves into winning position, but we are at 8 total hits. I would advise everyone to check on their selections. Some obscure people were chosen!

He also won reelection due to his excellent response with significant natural disasters in his tenure. An effective politician that has cross-party appeal (and he's a straight white male!). I lean towards him as VP along with others on the forum.

Not really about smart though is it? He's incompetent. Why is he President?

Democrats went from a 0-15% chance (if that) to a 35-50% chance of winning either the President, the Senate, or the House. Kudos! When was the last time a politician willingly gave up so much power? Hope Biden makes the right choice and resigns as well, but alas.

It requires the cabinet + VP....so not really!

It seems like he will drop out by this weekend. Pundits (CNN, MSNBC, etc.) have been talking as if it is a foregone conclusion. Doesn't make sense to not run for re-election, but stay as a sitting President IMO. If Harris can showcase she can do the job the next few months, Democrats would be better off.

Eastwood. Why not?

July 19th

Not sure I can celebrate the hit as I'm a bit gutted... Sad death. RIP.

That makes more sense. I had the mindset along the lines of what @arrowsmith laid out. Is this where we all hold hands and sing kumbaya?

Fair. I was clearly wrong. I suppose my hope for the President of the country being stable was inherently biased. Unreasonable expectations huh? You were right friend.
