The age and poor campaigner issues are non-issues to me and to any thinking conservative. Unfortunately, they will be big issues to the mushy middle, some of whom are needed to win a general election.

You need to spend more time talking to these people to understand just how shallow their thinking really is.

In a saner time, even a fair candidate could campaign for re-election from their front porch in Ohio as McKinnely did in 1900 or from a train tour as Truman did in 1948. Those days are long gone.

Issues without substance can be influential but not over an extended period.
