When Reagan ran they all claimed he was too old and they are even older these days.

“a 71-year-old retired Lutheran pastor ... leaning toward Sen. Elizabeth Warren ... because ... ‘shes the most liberal’”
It’s sad that Lutherans have sunk this low. When I was young, they seemed to pretty much walk the straight-and-narrow on social issues.

President Ronald Reagan on his age: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LoPu1UIBkBc
Henry Trehwitt: “Mr. President, I want to raise an issue that I think has been lurking out there for two or three weeks and cast it specifically in national security terms.”
“You already are the oldest president in history. And some of your staff say you were tired after your most recent encounter with Mr. Mondale. I recall yet that President Kennedy had to go for days on end with very little sleep during the Cuban missile crisis. Is there any doubt in your mind that you would be able to function in such circumstances?”
Reagan: “Not at all, Mr. Trehwitt, and I want you to know that also I will not make age an issue of this campaign. I am not going to exploit, for political purposes, my opponents youth, and inexperience.”
Paraphrasing another debate line . . . I worked for Ronald Reagan, I knew Ronald Reagan, Ronald Reagan was a friend of mine. Joe Biden and Bernie Sanders are no Ronald Reagan.

Not an either/or proposition. Numerous ELCA preachers are both.

Although there has been near infinite speculation on Hillary’s health, there has never been a definitive medical report that specifically describes her ailments.
She appeared well in the few seconds I saw her vitriol at the Cummings debacle
I would suggest a robbery at her doctor’s office is in order to steal her records for publication. Where is the media when it is actually needed?

Well, Sam Kinnison was, but he was raised Pentecostal, and died young (38).

Sam was taken by a vehicle accident. But your point is taken.

Gordon Lundberg, a 71-year-old retired
Lutheran pastor from Ames, said candidates health is a key issue for him because he understands how it feels to age. Hes leaning toward Sen. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts because, even though shes 70, shes
the most liberal and shes not got one foot in the grave yet.
Is this guy a TYPICAL Lutheran voter??

Ok, youre right!
Trump has the energy and stamina of of a 25 year old. Additionally, he is unbelievably tough and fierce, like a honey badger.
I love this President! :0)
