Bernie is a very worthy candidate, but...

[El Supremo]

he is too old (74). Could he even last one term without tiring out? He looks tired now.

[Agschmid]

1. Stupid post.

[MADem]

2. He sounds really unhinged. Sorry--he is not impressing me tonight.

And the bullshit about the taxes, like it's a BIG SURPRISE that they were expected.

[woolldog]

7. He says the same thing over and over again

HRC is better with policy and knows her stuff on a broader range of issues.

[MADem]

10. It's snippets of his stump speech--when I know what he is going to say before he finishes the

sentence, he's not coming up with anything new.

Man--Sanders is annoying, though--he stares straight ahead and waves that right arm. That finger keeps going up, he can't just LET SOMEONE TALK. He always has to BIGFOOT. It's so rude.

[woolldog]

13. I dislike him more and more.

I will NEVER vote for him.

[MADem]

20. He didn't help himself in that debate AT ALL.

And swanning off to Rome ain't gonna help, either.

Interesting take on the debate, here:

[IamMab]

28. Great quote

"Why would I be running for the Democratic nomination for the president of the United States if I'm not a Democrat?"
He’s answered that question in the past. By saying he only registered as Dem to placate the media.

He can't even pretend to want to lead the Party in which he's competing for the nomination. SMH

[El Supremo]

33. At least he's honest.

But I'd rather have a real Democrat.

[RazBerryBeret]

3. meh

She is only 5 years younger than him....

[El Supremo]

5. Maybe six.

And women live longer than men.

[djean111]

30. I honestly think Bernie is better, health-wise -

http://www.nytimes.com/2013/01/03/us/politics/hillary-clinton-is-discharged-from-hospital-after-blood-clot.html

Mrs. Clinton, 65, was admitted to NewYork-Presbyterian/Columbia hospital on Sunday after a scan discovered the blood clot. The scan was part of her follow-up care for a concussion she sustained more than two weeks earlier, when she fainted and fell, striking her head. According to the State Department, the fainting was caused by dehydration, brought on by a stomach virus. The concussion was diagnosed on Dec. 13, though the fall had occurred earlier that week.

The clot was potentially serious, blocking a vein that drains blood from the brain. Untreated, such blockages can lead to brain hemorrhages or strokes. Treatment consists mainly of blood thinners to keep the clot from enlarging and to prevent more clots from forming, and plenty of fluids to prevent dehydration, which is a major risk factor for blood clots.

And one of her aides, Huma Abedin, has described Hillary as easily or often confused.

So, I will stick with Bernie.

Also - the reason i do not support Hillary is her penchant for war and fracking and the TPP, amongst other things, and I don't tyhink she means to do well by social security. These things mean that Hillary is absolutely not a possible substitute for my support, no matter what the age difference is.

ISSUES. I don't like Hillary on the ISSUES.

[MADem]

11. Six years younger, not five. He looks 20 years older than her. nt

[Autumn]

4. You would be tired too if you were campaigning for months. He can last two terms, easy.

[oldandhappy]

6. She is 68 years old. Both are older than previous candidates and older than repubs.

[MADem]

12. Trump is how old....?

[oldandhappy]

16. holy toledo

He is 69, will be 70 in June. Did not know and I think he doesn't look it -- but hey -- if you have billions you can buy a face! Thank you.

[MADem]

17. Bloat Hides Many Sins. I am astounded that he isn't a drinker.

He says he never touches the stuff. Not once, not ever.

He looks like a stage three alcoholic to me.

[ScreamingMeemie]

25. ...and a heart as Cheney will tell us.

[k8conant]

26. He could have bought a better face then...

[The Old Lie]

8. Ageism.

Clinton's no spring chicken either. She's 68 years old, and has history of health issues.

[dana_b]

23. exactly. But on this website, it's tolerated repeatedly

Racism, sexism, fascism, all unacceptable. But calling someone a tired old wo/man is just fine.

And this is coming from supposed Dems and leftists!!

[CentralCoaster]

9. Bet he can outrun Hillary. Did you see how she often stumbles and cannot climb stairs.

Now that by itself isn't a disqualified, but if you want to go to the health topic, you might want to look at all the candidates.

Sanders is in better shape, by far.

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

14. Whereas, Hillary is an innocent ingenue of only 69.

[apcalc]

15. I like Bernie

His focus is too narrow. It's always the same thing with him.
She has a broad focus and broad knowledge , very practical.
Plus he's 74. Not good.

[djean111]

31. Oh, another Bernie, BUT post.

His focus is not narrow. It pretty much encompasses everything.

It's always the same thing with him.

Well, some may like that Hillary constantly changes stances and positions. All the time, depending on who is being pandered to, polls, and focus groups.
I sure do not.

Her focus has been war. And fracking. And the TPP. Things that are bad for everyone.
Plus, she has had health problems. Not good.

Looks like ageism is the meme of the day. Again.

[Alameda]

18. ageist!

Obviously you know little about the process of ageing. My grandmother was 87 sharp when she passed away. I know a 98 year old that is also sharp. Then there are young people who don't have it and never did.

[trueblue2007]

19. could he handle the stress??? I don't think he could handle even the FIRST year in office.

32. I love the stench of a new (recycled) meme in the aftermath of Bernie getting some great

recognition!

Oh, and yes, Bernie can handle the stress. better than Hillary, evidently.

[NurseJackie]

21. The campaign really seems to be taking a toll.

[geek tragedy]

22. that's a bad argument against him, I wish I had his energy and stamina nt

[sketchy]

24. Nelson Mandela became a president at age 76

Having been released from prison at age 72.

[Politicalboi]

27. And Hillary is some young chick?

This is silly. Hillary has medical issues getting up stairs as Bernie is seen running through metro. Hillary is the one that time is taking it's toll on. And he must be tired now. Even if he were 50 he'd be tired now.

[Maedhros]

29. AHA! This must be the new meme.

I'm not worried about Bernie's age.

I am worried about Hillary's neoliberal economic policies and slavering hunger for war.

[Ino]

34. Doesn't look tired to me...

But she won't let the press see her boarding a plane. Why is that?

[question everything]

35. Yea, and getting senile. When will he release his income tax returns?

No, not 2015 which his spouse said "when it is due" - but the one from, say 2014? How did he generate $53K in itemized deductions?

Oh, he does not remember. Yes, at this age one starts having problems with memory.
