my bet would be on Bernie a long time cross country runner

We all do different things. I go to a gym 4 days a week. The only way I'd run outside is if someone was chasing me. I do believe Bernie could beat Hillary in a foot race but that's not what they mean by running for office.
BTW, I think all 3 of them should release their health records. It's going to be an issue in the GE if someone like Canadian Cruz or Rubio who is much younger than either one of them is the GOP nominee.

It was just the snide way David Brock was trying to insinuate that Bernie's too old to be president that angered me.

But they are what we have because unless Bernie keels over running for a train or Hillary bumps her head falling off a treadmill, its not going to be OMalley.
I'm 65 BTW, I have no concern that they can do the job. My concern is really, the dem party has no up and coming stars? We need to be bringing them along and let the best rise to the top. I say this as an HRC supporter I think she scared them off, I'm glad Bernie is running for that at least but I wish more had jumped in because I don't know if either Bernie or Hillary can make it through 2 terms. And I hope either of them pick a younger running mate.

Elizabeth Warren perhaps?

Warren would be in her 70's if she chooses to run then.

your point?

were strongly discouraged by the DNC and DWS in particular.

They aren't being groomed by the dnc. The break out leaders are having to do it with little help from the party.

beat DWS in the primary.

Lets take the decision out of any politicians hands by just removing her from office and replacing her with a progressive Democrat.

Some call it ageist, but I just think it's practical to give some thought to the fact that someone in their late 60s or 70s, is well across the line for when our bodies begin to break down as a natural course of being mortal.

Do you think I he made that train.

get up and walk for two weeks!

Mine was a bit deeper than his and I had some skin removed (I'm short and had huge babies, which caused the hernia to begin with, plus left me with a lot of loose skin), so maybe my surgery was more involved than his, but damn, he was back in the Senate the next day!

Now I hear you are a mother! Jeeze.

I had 4 surgeries on my liver and the last one didn't heal entirely. I'm still working so I dread this surgery.
I have a huge abdominal hernia. My surgeon said oh you can go back to work in 2 weeks. I retire in 7 months, I'm going to put this off closer to retirement

Leans forward too much, too much tension in his arms, moves up and down too much.. not presidential at all.

But I bet he caught the train.

And he was up on the roof fixing things at his rental house. Weeks of work preparing it to be sold. I'd say he's got another 15-20 years in him at least.

was still riding a tractor in her fields and shoveling coal into her furnace until she was 88, and only died then because she fell in. True story.

I myself am 69 and feel at least 20 years younger. Bernie's age doesn't bother me.

She didn't break anything. She was on the porch roof because she was trying to clean the gutters and was afraid to climb a ladder.

she was shingling the barn when she was 96.

rip cousin I love ya so

insists on keeping her bedroom on the second floor. Says if she can make it up and down the stairs she figures she's good for another day.

Too many people who are 40 or so won't consider owning a two story house because they don't want to climb stairs. They usually express it as: someday I'll be older and won't be able to climb stairs. Considering how few people actually stay in the same home for decades, that has always struck me as a very dumb justification.

Look at how many New Yorkers live in apartments with no elevators. Five, as many as eight stories. I can't imagine myself, but many of them thrive on that.

but he sure as hell would clobber me in a foot race.

most feel the Clinton's couldn't lose.. Another test would be the spinning play ground thing that makes you dizzy that you fall down when you try to walk. The Clinton's walk away and never wobble. Sanders stumbles a bit and regains his balance.
Any mental health folks here to explain why the Clinton's never got dizzy?
