2016 Postmortem
Showing Original Post only (View all)Look, I was pissed off when people tried to make Hillary Clinton's health a thing [View all]
After she fell there were threads here saying she should sit out the election and enjoy being a grandma. I thought it was something of a low point for DU at that time, and it would be hypocritical of me to not say the same thing now for Sanders.
I trust that every candidate is smart enough to know when he or she can or cannot run. If they're willing to campaign, are committed to doing the job and are of sound mind, I don't care if they're on the older side of life expectancy.
Bernie is not my first choice for our nominee. But his age doesn't bother me in the slightest. I can only hope to be as healthy and as active in my seventies as he is now.

If everyone who uses the bookmark feature is "keeping tabs" on posters we're all stalkers.
