Quite a character, that Bernie!! He hogs the spotlight simply by virtue of his socialism (and his frantic behavior, which is quite amusing).
BUT there's this little fact: he's very old, and unwell. (Plus he's hunched over, the way that old people get....)
Do you think this will continue to get overlooked?? What he most needs is for Bloomberg or Trump to have a heart attack or stroke between now and June or November.......so that Bernie will look ok in comparison. But those things are very unlikely to happen.
Bernie is 4 years older than Trump.
Trump is the oldest person elected POTUS.
Both have outlived actuary life expectancies based on their year of birth.
Both appear to have more energy than men half their age.
We know more about Bernie’s health than that of the sitting president.
We know Trump’s father was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s which has a genetic factor.
Trump, Bernie, Biden and MB all have a greater risk for serious health issues. POTUS is not the way I would choose to spend my mid- late 70’s.
Interesting, because at the same time, Bill used to brag about eating fast food all the time, primarily hamburgers. And then look what happened, it caught up with him. And now? He looks worse then Biden and Bernie any day of the week.
I have a huge network of family and friends and one thing in common with everyone I know over 70: At one time they were in great shape mentally and physically and many people talked about their energy and sharpness. Then almost overnight something happens and they slip big time and become punchy mentally and physically.
So just because any of the candidates over 70 seem OK TODAY does not mean they will be fine tomorrow.
Ummm.....Sanders just had a major heart attack! And he's ancient, by presidential standards.
I was attempting to look at it honestly with no hyperbole. I've known people who have had "major" heart attacks. They were not able to jump back on the campaign trail a couple weeks later.
His heart condition SHOULD BE of major concern to any one voting for him, which is what I said already
Doubles? As in tennis? Yeah I'm sure he used to do that with Trump - 20 years ago.
I say again: if Trump is in such great health, let's see him go jogging.
