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.

I think she’s far too old to be elected.

Not to mention her Anti-American, Communist loving, socialism stained life...

President Reagan NEVER had an ambassador gang-raped
and murdered to give weapons to an enemy of America.

Hillary health:

1. Family history of multiple strokes.

2. Alcoholism.

3. Obesity.

I think that people are living longer than when Reagan was running for President the first time. I don’t think it made much difference for him except if he went for a third term (if allowed), it might have been dicey due to his dementia.

Golda Meir was the same age when she took office. But let’s not kid ourselves. Hillary Clinton is no Golda Meir!!

Reagan was not fired from the Watergate investigation team because he was unethical.

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

She has no chance. She knows it and will not run. Heck, she doesn’t even have any political clout to help other candidates except for maybe a couple of dog catchers in the right towns.

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.

Yes, but Reagan looked young, even when he left office, and Hillary looks old and ugly. She looks like a dressed over bag lady who has been feasting at a well stocked dumpster. We don’t see too many videos of her walking away because she looks like two pigs wallowing in a gunnysack.

Reagan had accomplished something in his life by the time he ran for President. Hilly was the wife of a popular Democrat - which is her major claim to fame...
