1. I gotta vote "no", but hopefully I'm wrong! (nt)

[True Dough]

2. Why isn't there

an "unknown" option? Anyone who wouldn't select that is just guessing.

But hopefully we all get to be "old as dirt."

6. The problem is that there are lots of folks here who are older than me, ...

...and some of them have heeded my wife's advice on how much pizza to eat and how much beer to drink.

I've received lots of very good advice over the years.

I could lend it to you if you'd like.

It's hardly used, almost new.

And it's very good advice! Trust me!

[friend of a friend]

3. Of course, I will only be 81. I will probably vote in the next 4-5 presidential elections.

[old as dirt]

9. I hope my wife has good things to say about me when she's 81.

(And she will get there!)

[EYESORE 9001]

4. No one can answer that question with absolute certainty

Just like no one can say that the person elected President will live through their term in office. I don’t consult actuarial tables before casting my vote.

[wnylib]

5. +1000

[old as dirt]

7. The actuaries got my number, but...

...my wife will live forever, which they didn't anticipate!

[EYESORE 9001]

8. Also...

Actuarial data is meaningless when applied to a single individual. Joe Biden could outlive us all. TFG, on the other hand, can’t rely on ‘good genes’ to keep him going forever - not with a lifetime of poor nutrition and abuse of pharmaceuticals.

[Polybius]

24. No one can answer Yes with certainty

However, perhaps some can answer No with it, if they have been given a short time to live.

[EYESORE 9001]

25. What if they're in the 'denial' stage?

[PJMcK]

10. Who knows?

I hope so.

[old as dirt]

11. Am I the only person here who expects to be dead then?

I swear, I'm gonna come back and haunt you all!

[TxGuitar]

23. LOL. On a slightly related note

ie, expecting to be dead, my wife and I were watching Dateline this weekend and the story was about a woman killed in her home in a posh California neighborhood. The interviewer said to the son "You never think it would happen to you do you?"....well who frack does? "No Dan, I always thought my mom would have her throat slashed at home, I just had a feeling"
So maybe you're one of those that do expect it to happen to you!

[ItsjustMe]

12. I thought I put you on Ignore

[old as dirt]

13. Apparently, you were mistaken.

Good thing, huh?

[hlthe2b]

14. Unless there is a black figure with a scythe lurking nearby...

[yellowdogintexas]

21. who speaks in all caps and has a horse named Binky

(also a skeleton)

[JohnSJ]

15. Is this a not to subtle way of the OP saying he doesn't want Biden to run?

[Emile]

16. I have no idea, but I hope so!

[70sEraVet]

17. When I read the OP, I assumed some reporter had asked tfg the question!

[sarisataka]

18. I wasn't alive the last time he won

Why should next time be any different?

[bluedigger]

19. This poll seems pointlessly speculative.

Who the hell knows?

[Chainfire]

20. Too close to call.

[niyad]

22. What is with these weird polls this morning?

[Iggo]

26. I'm north of sixty.

If I dropped dead today, a lot of people would say “So young. Tragic.” But the people who’ve known me since the good old days might go, “What a shame. But ya know…”

So yeah, no guarantees. I‘m in better than decent health for guys my age. But how I lived when I was thirty may have a lot to do with my chances of seeing 70, know’m say'n?

[GusBob]

27. will he be? n/t
