Why? Because two candidates you don’t like happen to be old?

Because the risk of diseases and/or death is too high? Then what about 70 year olds? 65? Where is the threshold for a high BMI? What about smokers?

Too many gaffes? May I present Bush Jr? How old was he?

Not getting things done? Look at Moscow Mitch. Horrible person with a terrifying track record, but until his very recent sharp decline he absolutely and ruthlessly dominated his colleagues.

IMHO that age debate is stupid and dangerous. It’s a watercooler talk- and news media-fest of superficiality.

Shouldn’t the candidates track record, their plans and their character be much, much more important? Yet their age has been obstructing the public debate for months now.
