“The big issue that will hurt Hillary Clinton’s campaign is her age—she will turn 69 less than a month before Election Day 2016.”
Ronald Reagan was 69 when he took office in 1981. But Reagan was hale & hearty, and exuded youthful vigor & optimism.
Hillary looks like a half deflated blimp in comparison.
Yesterday she stopped to buy some food and wasn't recognized wearing sunglasses--it appears she did not try to interact with any of the employees or other customers. On Fox & Friends they were talking about it--Steve Doocy, I think it was, commented that Bill would have been talking to everyone and would still be there.

Completely correct. Reagan--unlike Hillary--was BELOVED by most Republican voters by 1980. And he was such a sharp contrast to Jimmy Carter's "malaise" that a huge fraction of Democratic voters ended up voting for Reagan.
Another huge issue that faces Hillary is that she is one of the "political elites." As such, her stop at Chipotle looks really disingenuous (and will make her compared to Teresa Heinz-Kerry from 2004, and we ALL know how Heinz-Kerry got ridiculed back then).
I really think despite what the corporate elite says, privately they hate the increased business regulations and just about the highest corporate tax rate in the world during the Obama years. Imagine what corporate profits will be like with less business regulations and much lower corporate tax rate--profits high enough to actually do a broad-based economic growth that benefits everyone.
