in 2008.
Hillary Clinton will be 68 in 2016.
John McCain was 71 in 2008.
In fact, if elected, Hillary Clinton would be several months YOUNGER than Ronald Reagan was in 1980 when he was elected.
If they didn't criticize McCain's age in 2008, not to mention Reagan's age in 1980, and they criticize Hillary's age in 2016, it's BLATANT SEXISM!

My God, Bob Dole was 73 when he ran in 1996!

...I think they're just fucking stupid and don't know what the heck they are talking about. I use the same argument for the Repugs complaining in '08 that Obama was too inexperienced when he had more years of political experience at the time of his candidacy then "Chimp" Dubya did when he first ran.
