Will we ever have a president born in the 1950's?

[Kingpoleon]

Sherrod Brown, Roy Cooper, Andrew Cuomo, John Hickenlooper, Tim Kaine, Deval Patrick, and Tom Steyer were born in the 1950s.

[100% pro-life no matter what]

Yes, Mike Pence

[BillyW]

Very unusual stat is that Bush, Clinton and Trump were all born the same year (1946). I believe it is the only occrence in history. That is one thing edging us 50s folks out.

I think there is a good chance Trump might not make 4 years either through restlessness ( he does love the real estate game) or scandal and Mike Pence would become our only pres from the 50s

[Figueira]

The only one with a decent shot at this is Mike Pence, unfortunately. If a Democrat succeeds Trump, they will almost certainly be younger, and I don't see a non-Pence Republican succeeding Trump. I guess it could happen in 2024 (most likely beating the incumbent Democrat), but it's pretty unlikely.

I think Pence has a good shot to be a 50s President, or at the very least "Acting President"

If Sherrod Brown were to actually run in 2020, he'd have a decent shot at both the nomination and the presidency.  Though, yeah, at least so far he hasn't indicated any interest.

[Oswald Acted Alone, You Kook]

It looks like the answer is no. The 50's will join the 1930's and 1810's as decades that never produced a president.

[morgankingsley]

I don't think so.

[One Term Floridian]

Bush is the only with a serious chance to win the contest in my opinion.

[Lechasseur]

Agreed

[Oswald Acted Alone, You Kook]

Now that the field is solidified, can we get another count on 50's vs. 60's vs. 70's. vs. pre-50's?

Can I get a count on the current runners now?

Guac Bowl man will pull a third party 50 state sweep in 2020. Keep the faith.

[Clarence Boddicker]

Nah, having 3 presidents born the same year really screwed over '50s boomers.

[Pandaguineapig]

Maybe Mike Pence? That would be it
