If You Wanna be President:Some tips

If you wanna be president, think down the line. Be between 25-35 years old and run for City Council, preferably in a medium sized city in the Midwest, or South. Be a Democrat for sure. Run and win, then serve two terms and run for Supervisor, win. Serve two terms, run for Assembly, maybe State Senate, win. One term there and think about Congress. Run and maybe win, if not run again, it's only two terms. If you are really really popular the the sitting Congressperson is not, or there's an open seat, you might skip from steps 2 and go straight for Congress after your Supe. gig. You are now 55 or 60.

Are you good at what you do; have you proven you can raise millions, yes, millions of dollars. Does the grass roots in your state love you, and those in other states getting to know you? Are you mentioned pm MSNBC and Fox News?

Now you might think about that Presidential run. Don't forget there is always Mayor of your City if it's a big one, Governor of your State, other Constitutional offices, and U.S. Senator. All great offices and ways to get things done, assuming your purpose in all this running is to get things done, for your District, State and Country. Good things, important things. Fixing the roads, building bridges, making sure there is universal healthcare and education, an end to income inequality. Those are goals, and lofty ones, but the ones Democrats need to keep in mind and aim for.

Run baby run. But not for President, not this year.

Unless you really are a Buddha Judge. Then all bets are off.
