I think we can get our heads around this fact.. they are all over 70..the possible winners

[Peacetrain]

of the primary/caucuses...( everyone else is just too far down to make up that much room ).. we are four months away from the first caucus and primary.. and The Trump is 73??

1. Indeed. At age 65 myself, I know that we slow down as we age.

It’s different for everyone - look at Jimmy Carter - but in the general scheme of things, I would be more comfortable with a younger person as the D nominee.

[Peacetrain]

2. I am past 65 myself.. and physically I am much slower than I was at 45 or even 50

Cognitively..I am fine.. I understand what Jimmy Carter was saying, he is 90 now? but when he was in his 70's he was pretty active running all over the world, with Habitat as well as voting security.. ... you have to take it person by person when you hit 65.. some people are quite capable of physical activities as well as mental acuity..

14. The electorate has a habit of selecting someone who is in their 40s or 50s.

There have only been 6 presidents who were older than 62 (only 3 since the Civil War). Trump is the only one to take office at 70+.

Anyway, it's way too early for anyone to be assuming that our nominee will be either Biden or Warren (or Sanders, who I can't even take seriously).

3. I'll accept any candidate of any age. I'm 70 and I have to make some adjustments in my life

but I'm not used up, senile or corrupt.

[Mr.Bill]

4. I'm 66 now and yes, I am physically slower.

I'm also very much smarter and wiser and better at people skills than I was when I was 40.

If you wanted me to chop wood, 40 year old me would be better. If you wanted me to say, run a business or negotiate a deal with someone, you would want 66 year old me. That is if you can't wait for 75 year old me, who I think will be better yet.

11. Mr. Bill, you sound like

a fine wine, that improves with age!

[Mr.Bill]

12. Thank you. I'm trying. n/t

5. Experience takes time to get

and one of the top candidates who isn't showing any signs of tiring is the grandmother in the race. Warren can go the distance.

[RobertDevereaux]

6. Yes indeed...

... and likewise Bernie.

He’s a dynamo.

7. Socialism is great for one's health

[DownriverDem]

9. Maybe

but it isn't great for votes.

[DownriverDem]

8. Don't forget

trump is over 70 too. I still say that Biden is the best candidate to win the Electoral College which is state by state.

[treestar]

10. 70 is the new 50

especially for middle or upper class Americans.

[stopbush]

13. Nah. 65 is the new 64.
