Here's a fascinating factoid for you...

Hillary is 67, Biden is 71, Bernie Sanders is 74.

Since 1920, of all the presidents who were first elected, as opposed to being VP and taking office when the president either died or resigned, ALL of the Democrats were YOUNGER than 53; ALL of the Republicans were OLDER than 53.

You are speaking of the period since 1920, the nineteenth amendment guaranteeing women the right to vote was ratified on August 18 of 1920, nearly three months prior to the presidential election, the Republicans won with Warren G. Harding who was barely 55 when elected. Harding was considered to be a VERY handsome man. Since then looks and charisma have mattered more than anything else. Single women don’t vote for homely old men for president. Abe Lincoln would not stand a snowball’s chance in a forest fire. The nineteenth amendment was a terrible mistake but it does not help Hillary’s chances one iota. The democrats could probably do better with Denzel Washington or even George Clooney than with Hillary. Of course I am only talking about who would get the largest share of the REAL vote, the result is almost certain to be decided by fake votes. Hillary Clinton has had one chance to win the woman’s vote and could not do it, the chance that she can do it now with another eight years of wrinkles is zero. The only reason we have not already elected a woman to the presidency is that WOMEN who are, after all, the majority of registered voters, DON’T WANT ONE.
