Like it or not, Donald Trump is going away any time soon. In fact, as long as he has a pulse and a voice we're going to continue hearing from him and about him. But that doesn't necessarily mean that we have to pay attention, and the media needs to do a better job of tuning out that lunatic once he's no longer running for office.
Also, Donald Trump is so enraged by his criminal conviction and his upcoming sentencing date that he could end up skipping his debate with President Biden. He even has a pretty good excuse for bowing out of the debates that he demanded, if he's smart enough to use that excuse. But showing up to the debate could hand Biden some easy ammunition against the convicted felon.
And the RNC passed a rule several years ago that prevents them from being able to accept votes for a candidate who didn't receive a majority of votes in a particular state. This means that Donald Trump is stuck being their nominee. They could easily change the rule, obviously, but that's why Trump wanted to get his hand-picked cronies in charge of the Party so the rule stayed in place.
Finally, the average age for members of Congress is 58, while the average age of US Senators is 64. On top of that, the top 3 people running for President this year are all over the age of 70. We definitely have an aging ruling class that is out of touch with the rest of the country, so is it time to enact age limits for members of Congress?
