You could say much the same about a number of older presidents who were effective but plagued by ill health, from Andrew Jackson to Dwight Eisenhower. Ike almost died in office.

Yeah, one reason the age/health thing didn't fly against Reagan in 1984 was that he had survived a bullet inches from his heart & kept going.https://twitter.com/NoChromeHD/status/1172525654887272449 …

We do not need a continuously active president. We do need a president who is capable of great bouts of activity at moments when leadership is most needed. https://twitter.com/SteveAustinWI/status/1172525972198809600 …

Age shouldn't be an absolute bar. But voters should, in my view - and I've said this for years, about Trump, McCain, Dole, etc. - hold older candidates (esp over 70, now guys who'd pass 80 in office) to a higher standard to prove they're physically & mentally up to the job.
