Sanders had a heart attack on the campaign trail and he thinks it's going to get easier? Bernie supporters, I hope you like his VP.

Stop the gerontocracy now!

Warren would be the oldest new president in history, eclipsing Trump, who himself eclipsed Ronald Reagan.
Thing is, Trump has the energy of someone still in their 30s, with no major health concerns.
The general election debates are going to gold, with Trump vs Buttigieg or possibly Warren, or possibly Hillary!

Bwahaha! The guy who had to ride in a golf cart behind all the other G7 leaders in Sicily because he literally couldn't keep up with the walking pace of Angela Merkel "has the energy of someone still in their 30s"?
Just how out of shape do you think people in their 30s are?

He's also very clearly on medication and is showing classic signs of dementia
Where did you come up with this? Sure, his enemies, like Omarosa, claim this.
If Trump has Dementia, what does Biden have? We won't even go there.

The guy sleeps maybe 5 hours a day, has to deal with all the BS the Democrats and RINOS throw at him and he still gets great things done for the American people on a daily basis.

A lot are, lol, but most aren't. My point is even most 30 year olds don't work as hard as Trump does.

Trump has spent about 1/3 of his time in office relaxing at a Trump property rather than at work. Almost 200 of his days have been spent golfing, a record for Presidents this early in their term.
According to his official schedule about 60% of the time he spends in the actual White House is devoted to "Executive Time" which most accounts suggest consist mainly of watching cable news TV and Tweeting.
Its also pretty well established that he can't read documents and doesn't listen to briefings. The guy is the laziest and most intellectually incompetent person ever to occupy that office, by far.

Trump is in his 70s, so replacing him with someone who is competent and honorable, even if they also are in their 70s, is acceptable to me. Still, a good candidate who is younger would be OK, as well.

He has, not to mention he has a cabinet to do the things he needs. If he were lazy we wouldn’t have a flourishing economy now that everyone is enjoying and it’s going to be a great Christmas and it wasn’t like this for a long time.
If only the liberal media would report on news, actual news for once instead of reporting on how many Twinkies the man eats. No one people are cutting their cables.
More fake news
Liberals tend to constantly say that and yet even with the Russian which hoax and with Ukrainian impeachment hoax and with everything else that the Democrats and the Washington establishment have been throwing at him, Sanders or Biden could never physically survive such a day in and day out 24/7 onslaught. Trump is not the youngest man, but I do admire his physical tenacity and his overly strong will to fight the corrupt Washington establishment and not miss a step in his stride.

I don't have a problem with this. At the very least have a maximum age to run for office. Folks like Bernie and Biden are just too old to lead a country. Between health issues and simply being out of touch (remember Biden trying to tell the audience to send a text? Yikes...), these guys are in no shape to be President.
