We will have the oldest elected President in history.

[El Supremo]

Sanders: 79
Biden: 78
Bloomberg: 78
Trump: 74
Reagan: 73 (2nd election)
Warren: 71
Harrison: 68

1. Which of the Harrisons was 68 -- was it the one who lasted just about one month?

VP better be young and healthy...

[El Supremo]

3. Tippecanoe

[hlthe2b]

4. William Henry Harrison--the oldest until Reagan

died one month in...

[leftstreet]

2. I didn't realize Warren was in her 70s

?? She looks really young

Crap, I'm getting old. I can't judge ages anymore. I'd have said she was much younger

[El Supremo]

6. I'm 69 and...

don't want an older President.

[leftstreet]

7. Not sure age matters in this case

It's a POTUS, not your pilot or your doctor or a roofer

[Calculating]

9. Actually it kinda does

POTUS is a hard job to do. Constant phone calls in the middle of the night, travel, rallies, meetings with world leaders, etc. It requires somebody with a fair amount of stamina who can handle the pressure/workload.

11. All I care about is s/he isn't a golfer

You could fund Medicare For All and cancel student debt with what Trump et Entourage have spent on golfing

5. 70 is the new 55 apparently.

Before this primary season started, I stated that I did not want to see the following candidates from our side:

Hillary
Warren
Bernie
and even Joe (I love him... but seriously)

And all but Hillary ran... and the voters seem to like those 3 that did.

I really wanted to see that the torch had really passed to the next generation.

Maybe in 4 or 8 more years... and then it skips Obama's generation and goes to Mayor Pete or Be to or someone.

8. I really like Biden and Warren but I wanted a younger candidate

Hopefully whoever gets the nomination will pick a young VP running mate.

I don't know who I'd want for VP since I don't want to take any of our wonderful Democratic Senators out of the Senate - but that might give them a solid step towards being the next Democratic President following this year's winner. Stacey Abrams would be a good choice, IMO.

10. I'm ok with this

Biden, Bernie, and Warren are in great shape. I have more of a problem with people in their 30's running. Way too young.

[El Supremo]

12. Bernie isn't in "great shape".

Biden has had some issues too.

[Polybius]

14. Every president since Nixon has lived into his 90's

Even Nixon was 81, not young. I'm not worried.

[smirkymonkey]

13. Bernie recently had a heart attack.

He's not exactly in "great shape". Biden and Warren are in good shape, much better than Trump, for sure. I just honestly don't know if Bernie would last through his first term given the stress of the job.

[Polybius]

15. People said this about Bob Dole in 1996, much more so than today

They said he might die in office. Well, he's still living 24 years later.

[Poiuyt]

17. I'm 67 and I sure don't feel like going 100mph anymore

I'm happy to be retired so I can just be a blob. I don't know how these people do it.

[PA Democrat]

18. We have a 79 year-old Speaker of the House

and she can run circles around younger politicians.
