She debated Obama very well in 2008.

Biden is five years older than Hillary and people seem to be excited by him.

And he was either senile when he took office, or just an imbecile!

The Dems shouldn't start mimicking the GOP with candidates older than dirt and dumber than a rock!

But politics is all just a farce anyway to keep the SHEEP diverted .ZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzz!

Hillary's legal problems will prevent the old hag from progressing much further, regardless of age.

The Left put all their eggs in on basket this time, and it's hilarious. Even Chris Matthews sees her for what she is!

I am not a Hillary fan.

Having said this, her age has nothing to do with it.

McCain was 70 when he ran.

Romney would likely be looking towards a second term right now had he won in 2012 and he's older than Hillary.

Bernie is 73 and Biden ( should he decide to run) is 72.

What a crock of baloney (and I noticed you didn't say that the media is commenting on her age because....they're not).

The news media were all over Reagan like a cheap suit during his campaign because of how old he'd be at inauguration and the end of a two-term presidency. Life expectancy wasn't the issue.

BTW, as a physical specimen, RR was far superior to Hillary, who's already had a considerable number of health problems (that we know about).

But don't expect her media buddies, who've already excused away her roping them off like cattle, to clamor for access to her medical records.

She won't be too old but...she'll be too short.

If her name were John McCain then of course..
"projected life exp"? In the US is 80,
what a load, they cover all the bases even though nothing matters to C voters
Besides, I dont think any of em matured past the age of 12
