2016 Postmortem
Showing Original Post only (View all)Hillary is no spring chicken either. [View all]
This is in response to all the recent threads about Bernie's age where he has been called a "crusty old Jew" that was especially lovely); "a cranky old man "; and much much more.
Hillary will be 69 in October. IF she is elected President, she will be 70 at the end of her first year.
But even more important than age is health. Anyone who is an senior citizen like myself knows that once you hit 55, age means nothing!
It's all about your health. I know an 87 year old that can swim the full length of a pool under water back and forth without stopping, and 60 year olds that get pooped out walking around a store like Costco.
So let's talk about health.
Bernie:
The summary, from Dr. Brian Monahan, described Sanders as in "overall very good health," with no history of cardiovascular disease, normal blood pressure and vital signs, and no significant chronic condition.
Bernie's health probs -
Acid reflux that triggers laryngitis from time to time, and a couple of hernia repairs
Now let's talk about Hillary:
Concussion in December 2012 after fainting.
During the course of her concussion treatment, Clinton was also found to have a blood clot and was given medication to dissolve it. She remains on the medicine as a precaution, Bardack wrote.
The blood clot, which was in a vein in the space between the brain and the skull behind the right ear, led Clinton to spend a few days in New York-Presbyterian Hospital and take a month-long absence from the State Department for treatment.
She has a very common thyroid condition and seasonal allergies, and takes a blood thinner Coumadin as a precaution since her fall and the blood clot. There was no mention of Clintons height or weight.
Got it? You can call Bernie an old man all you want, but he is a very healthy, energetic 74 year old man.
Just don't be surprised when Bernie supporters bring up Hillary's age and her health problems inn response.
