Why You Can't Compare Hillary Clinton's Age to Ronald Reagan's
National Journal ^ | 4/24/14 | Stephanie Stamm

Posted on 04/24/2014 11:49:34 AM PDT by ConservativeMan55

The age comparisons between Hillary Clinton and Ronald Reagan seem as natural as they are nonsensical.

Yes, were Clinton to win in 2016, she would take office at age 69—just as Reagan did in 1981. And yes, the comparison is often made when Clinton's critics and allies debate whether she has the health to serve out two presidential terms.

“Hillary is to the left what Palin is to the right. And all that that implies.”

Way not true. Palin had the entire US media against her and actively trying to destroy her non stop for years, and it has been extremely effective to the point where even republicans don’t like her. Cankles, on the other hand has the total 110% support of the media, and will have nothing but active collusion to deify her.

because the men who would get it at those ages died already as men have lower life expectancy than women
Do you know why husbands die before their wives?
Because they want to.

RE :”Do you know why husbands die before their wives?

Aging is brutal for many people.
Modern drugs keep people alive but don't necessarily retain their abilities.

Losing ability to do things, eventually walk, then stand and to think is ugly.

Eventually it brings a view of death as freedom.

And nursing care is very expensive.

I confess that when I posted that your very point was in my mind. The ONE difference is a compliant press for Hillary. It won’t matter. The alternative news sources have, in my opinion, reached critical mass in public perception as relatively reliable. Only the true believers would really go for Hillary unless the R’s offered up someone like McCain again.

“When’s the last time Hillary did ANYTHING physically strenuous?”
Well, she did fall off a bar stool in South America last year.

Favorite fantasy: Hillary V. Ted Cruz in the debates

She would be so pathetic that not even Billy Jeff would vote for her.

Hillary had a stroke and couldn’t attend the hearings on Benghazi. She is too ill to ru for elected office.

However, she will take the 20 mil or so her useful idiots will raise for her. Will be a good war heat when Chelsea starts running for public office.

I predict she will run, with no intention of serving out her term. The real candidate will be her vice-presidential nominee who she will step aside for soon after taking office.

If someone asks you why you're not voting for Hillary tell them:

It's not because she's a woman. It's because she's a lesbian.

just to see how they respond.

No way. Hilly will die with her rigor mortus fingers firmly attached to the levers of power. Just saying.

Well Rick Perry wants to run for Prez again in 2016. He just challenged Cuomo to a debate. I think Rick thinks what think and that is Hitlery will not be running. Cuomo will.

Same age as Reagan, but with definitely a WORSE health history than Reagan.

Plus Reagan could chop wood all afternoon. Hillary can’t even chop walnuts for cookies.

LOL!! Please photoshop that pic of Reagan and the chainsaw by substituting Hillary’s head for Ron’s. The world would laugh at such a preposterous picture.

"Clinton / Warren 2016"

Warren is all of 3 years younger than Hillary and taught at Harvard law School. What was her law expertise? It was in "How to go Bankrupt." Seriously.

She was on the Congressional TARP Oversight Committee that did such a good job of making sure the money went to "shovel-ready jobs." Warren is a total non-starter.

I don't have the means, but it would be fun to see the result.

Imagine Hillary in Jan 2025 as she turns the WH over to MooseChelle Robinson Obama. Then MooseChelle in 2031 doing the same for Chelsea Clinton-Mezvinsky. Then in 2039 for Sharia Obama-Shabazz...

OMG what a nightmare...
