Is Bernie out of the running?

I read today that he had a heart scare. He sounds safe but at his age, it's gonna be asking a lot to expect him to be President for four to eight years if he has health issues. It's sad really because he's my favourite American politician. I wish him the best of health.

He had an angioplasty, with a couple of stents inserted. This means that he will be needing constant care, else other issues will develop (or already have).

This is pretty serious. I think he should name a successor and pull out of the race.

@Northwest Just on a personal level, I wish him well.

@Burnley123 I wish him well as well. I received an email form his company, insisting he's OK, and ready to go, but having seen people with the same condition, all too often, this is a major health alert. He's not going to be able to handle the rigors of a full blown campaign. For his, and his family's sake, he should put an end to it, and figure out how to transform into a King Maker.

@Northwest I bet his family are advising the same tbing.
