Would you not agree that 90 years is kind of "getting up there"?
You keep trying to convince me that Gerald Ford was senile when this interview was conducted because of his advanced age. Sorry, it's just not working. You need to find a better argument if you want to dismiss his opinions out of hand.

No..I keep asking you questions you will not answer. Would you vote for a 90 year old for POTUS and put national security in the hands of a person with probable memory loss , difficulty with problem solving and possible beginning stages of dementia?

The probable answer, of course not.

To say that Ford's opinion of the WOT and Iraq, good or bad, in the twilight of his years, is the ultimate answer to the calling of this young generation is at least as absurd as any question I have asked you.

So if you can't answer honestly, don't expect to convince me that you have a handle on the normal affects of aging on the cognition of the extreme elderly.

Now, can we get on with mourning his death without exploiting him further for political purposes and TV ratings? Thank you.
