On the other hand, Bernie may well be in better shape than someone as obese as Trump, and Bernie shows no signs of the dementia that some people see in Trump.
Trump is barely obese. He's on the cusp at 30.4 BMI as measured in his most recent physical. If he takes a big dump he's not obese and if he gets on the scale after a big meal he is. Besides, that BMI chart is largely arbitrary anyway - it doesn't capture frame size or musculature or any of the other many factors that can result in two people with the same BMI being in vastly different physical condition.
Just because you can sit in your easy chair and watch Madlock does not make you ready to be leader of the free world.
The problem lots of old people think they can do way more than they can. Stubbornness is the issue and or dementia. Hard to even get them to turn over their keys and stop driving when they are a danger to themselves and others.
I think 60 is pushing it for POTUS. Perhaps that should be the cutoff.

I can get behind an age limit...I am not trying to be ageist but we need to face the facts when it comes to aging -it impairs the body and the mind, not always at the same time, but when one is impaired the other is also diminished because they are linked. The power of government is too lethal and destructive to be in the hands of the infirm.
In general I don't believe people should be able to make decisions the repercussions or effects of which they will not be around to fully experience. Its the same reason that I don't think anyone should be allowed to propose or to vote in support of taxes to which they will not be personally subjected.
So for old people that is basically disqualifying for most issues. They aren't going to have to even live under their own policies. Disqualified!
That's disrespectful to scientists. I know a lot of them, and they usually don't look like they just fell out of bed like Bernie. He could comb his hair.
So you’re equating this with age, why? People get hurt all the time regardless of age.
True, people get hurt all of the time. But being older and more fragile can increase the odds that you'll get hurt going about otherwise routine business. I'm just genuinely curious as to whether Bernie is up to snuff to be POTUS, physically.
Sounds to me like a Clinton hit squad job, being out of power and running low on donated Saudi cash she can't afford the top notch hit men she's used too, that's why he only required stitches. Back in the good old Clinton glory days we would be reading about how Bernie tied his hands behind his back then hung himself in the shower.
