I hope you mean what I was thinking, that but not for LBJ being his VP JFK might not have been assassinated.

Absolutely. 74 today is not the 74 of 30 years ago. As long as one stays healthy and active - age 74 should NOT prevent someone for running for President. 84 would be pushing it IMO.

Mental status still can occur and might be out of his control even if his BP, and cholesterol is in check. Not a chance I'm willing to take.

Besides, his social spending and expanding yet another entitlement program (free college) for young folks who haven't put a dime into the tax revenue program serve no purpose to our country.

Free college: epitome of an entitlement program.

Oh thanks Ringo1 for once .

From all the debates, esp. the one yesterday, Bernie displayed more wits than any other candidates. He's a sharp, quick witty man.
