    I remember when John McCain’s health and age was a big issue during the 2008 campaign. McCain was 71. Biden is currently 76 and Sanders is 77. (Trump is 72 and obese). Yes medical technology has improved and such but it’s still notable that we’re being governed by elderly people

        Most cultures in the world view their elders with respect. There is no "app" for wisdom, nor any college course that speeds it up. The millennials prove that the youth are horribly naive and still wet behind the ears, no self awareness of this either. Asia is elder respect

        The boomer terminator is out there. It can't be bargained with. It can't be reasoned with. It doesn't feel pity, or remorse, or fear. And it absolutely will not stop, ever, until you are spiritually dead and completely stripped of manufacturing assets built up over generations.

        It makes the choice of VP particularly important since there's a significant chance of death while in office, just going by the numbers. Which was why I couldn't vote for McCain: Palin.

        McCain's age wouldn't have been an issues if he hadn't chosen Palin as his VP choice.

        I don't want to be governed by an inexperienced child or someone going through mid-life-crisis psychosis, with little-to-no life experience, especially vast enterprise or even a small business. Or even having had a job, like Bernie.

        Coming from an elderly woman, not a smart move. Elect people who are in their prime.

        Age alone doesn't dictate one's prime.

        John McCain was a cancer survivor at the time, and had serious health issues prior to the election

        What does this say about Gen X and millennials? Why haven’t they stepped up to lead and run for office until Bernie made the call and we elected a Fascist to the White House?

        The system is under an almost airtight lock by 2 ancient party establishments. It's not constitutional, but it's effective. I think 98%+ of all partisan officers are held by these two parties. The phenom is basically an analogy of 90 year olds who refuse to stop driving.

        All discrimination is acceptable in PC culture, provided that it furthers the leftist agenda.
