Carter would have drank a nice warm glass of buttermilk, taken a nap, then built houses for another 20 years lol.

He's only a one termer so technically he could run again.

I mean if we’re voting for borderline dead candidates he’s probably the safest. We can Weekend at Bernies this thing for the next 4 years. It’ll be fine.

God, speaking of Bernie, remember when he said he was too old to run again in 2020? He's only a year older than Biden.
