Young voters don't care about Hillary Clinton's age - Hillary Clinton Room Post

HILLARY CLINTON ROOM POST

Albert Hunt

Hillary Clinton, if she decides to run for president, would be among the oldest contenders for the office. Nonetheless, she has strong appeal among younger Americans.

The former secretary of state, who will be 69 on Election Day 2016, beats five of her most prominent possible Republican rivals among voters 18 to 29, in some cases by as much as a 2-to-1 margin, according to a new Bloomberg Politics poll. U.S. Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., runs strongest against her among these voters, though he still loses by a 3-to-2 margin.

I would not want to challenge many of them mentally. I know there are some who are not as well mentally as others but I see lots who are capable. Hillary impresses me as one of the "don't challenge me" bunch. I am ready for Hillary.
