And Elizabeth Warren is 70. What's with all the politicians in their 70s running for President?

Imagine your parents/grandparents running for office at that age. Would they physically even have the energy and stamina?

There needs to be term limits and politicians should be forced to retire at the average retirement age. They still get life time medical and pension. It's not about ageism, it's the fact that someone who is nearly 80 years old relies on consultants for information that they cannot grasp at all. Watching them question Mark Zuckerberg was painful because technology was so far removed from their knowledge.

This isn't to say older people can't be savvy in all matters but I also wouldn't want a young person having power to vote against say, a nasa budget if they believe the Earth is flat. There needs to be a better checks and balances.

I assumed they were just trying to get stuff on the record and weren't necessarily "removed from technology"

I actually work in the data industry and some of those questions legit made no sense whatsoever. I literally feel kinda bad for Mark at the time. There was no way to answer some of those questions except for "everything you think we do is fundamentally mistaken"

You got to give it to Trump. The man is a MACHINE. He seems to never stop going. That was probably his biggest advantage over Hillary in 2016. She was just so tired and had zero enthusiasm. Joe and Warren are basically the same. Bernie seems to have the enthusiasm, but i'd like to see his medical reports.

These. The court I work for forces Judges to retire at age 70 or so. It should be the same for politicians as well.

Of the five people listed, one is in his first term in public office, one is in her second, and a third left office after reaching a term limit (after extending the term limit, it should be noted).

He did release them including the ones related to the heart attack he had. Short answer is he's fine, just old. Dude was literally in the gym working out while Hillary Clinton was fainting from the heat.

You also left the part out when I said they should be done at the average age of retirement

The hearing about Libra you're speaking of? Oh my God, the hearing was hilarious. They had ZERO CLUE as to what's going on in the blockchain industry.

"Why not use the US dollar for payments?" No you dolts, everyone's using blockchain tech to usurp the USD's throne, Facebook included. Asking a question that basic signifies that the US government is going to get blindsided so quickly when the 4th Industrial Revolution comes around.

It's not really impressive when Trump does it though since we know he's on uppers, and he can barely speak at times. Bernie had a heart attack and continued campaigning the next day (or was it the same day?) while being clean and coherent.

I think the real issue with old candidates running is that it's considered uncouth to have an actual serious conversation about their mental capabilities.
