At 67, Hillary Clinton is now a woman of a certain age. So much emphasis and worry are put on physical aging in women that the emotional maturity and freedom that can come at this time are given short shrift. That robs everyone of a great natural resource. For women of a certain age, it is our time to lead. The new standard for aging women should be about vitality, strength and assertiveness.
One of the largest demographics in America is women in their 40s to 60s, and by 2020 there will be nearly 60 million peri- and post-menopausal women living in the U.S. Because womens average life expectancy is currently 81 years, were easily spending a third of our lives postmenopausal. That is a great opportunity for growth and change.
The long phase of perimenopause is marked by seismic spikes and troughs of estrogen levels, which can last for more than a decade in many women. But afterward, there is a hormonal ebbing that creates a moment of great possibility. As a psychiatrist, I will tell you the most interesting thing about menopause is what happens after. A woman emerging from the transition of perimenopause blossoms. It is a time for redefining and refining what it is she wants to accomplish in her third act. And it happens to be excellent timing for the job Clinton is likely to seek. Biologically speaking, postmenopausal women are ideal candidates for leadership. They are primed to handle stress well, and there is, of course, no more stressful job than the presidency.

While Hillary lacks the temperament, intellect, experience, integrity, bearing, principles, competence, etc., for the office of POTUS she is biologically primed.
Swell.

Jimmy Carter for President in 2016. He's fit, he's rested, he's ready.
The perfect Democrat candidate. He's even older than Hillary and almost as incompetent as Obama.

The new standard for aging women should be about vitality, strength and assertiveness. Well, she's assertive. I'll give her that.

Here is Reagan at 72, he looks like he is holding his own surrounded by young warriors.

LOL! It’s unreal isn’t it, they think they’re voting for their favorite star on American Idol or something.

Good one.
Not only holding his own, as you point out, but a man who was a real leader for those young men to look up to.
Obama? Hillary?
LMAO
These two couldn’t fill Reagan’s shoes if they peed a lifetime and did nothing else, but drink.

Hillary Clinton Is the Perfect Age to Be President
Not based on recent presidential history.
Both parties should review their nominees of the last two decades:
1992 Bush (64) vs Clinton (46)
1996 Dole (73) vs Clinton (50)
2000 Gore (52) vs Bush (54)
2004 Kerry (61) vs Bush (59)
2008 McCain (72) vs Obama (47)
2012 Romney (65) vs Obama (51)
[Winners in bold]
Notice a pattern?

(D) Hillary Clinton - age 67
(D) Jim Webb - age 69
(R) Fioria - 60
(R) JBush - 61
(R) Kasich - 62
(R) Carson - 63
(R) Perry - 64

The list of Clinton scandals is incredible, back to the 1980s, and currently with Benghazi and the Clinton Global Initiative funding.
In any rational world a mere mention of her being a candidate would be hooted down as impossible.

So they are saying every woman, pre-menopause,
is incapable of making a logical decision...really!

I am 69 and I very seriously question her ‘vitality’. The campaign trail is grueling and Hillary has already demonstrated a tendency for health problems.
I expect canceled appearance due to fatigue. Her’s and the voters!

Her ovaries no longer produce viable eggs.
There is a reason that women over 60 should not get pregnant.
Men and women both, with luck, reach an age where they should no longer reproduce.
Mother Earth has a tendency to break down our chromosomes over time and produce genetic dead ends.
How old was Hillary’s mother?
