It’s not just life expectancy - women have a higher rate of Alzheimer’s at a given year of life, and in general, are more debilitated in old age. At 85, 1 in 5 women have Alzheimer’s, while only 1 in 11 men do.

So sorry to besmirch the rosy liberal glow.

RE :”. At 85, 1 in 5 women have Alzheimer’s, while only 1 in 11 men do.”

Maybe that's because the men who would get it at those ages died already as men have lower life expectancy than women do.

Unless your point is we'd be better with a male POTUS who died in office than a woman who went nuts.
