    Oh it’s age. At 80 you can literally die at any second. That’s now what you want or need in a leader. Nobody at 80 has the wit and reflexes the did 20 years ago. 70 is pushing it.

      You can literally die at any second no matter what your age. That doesn’t seem like a well-considered criterion.

        I’m no scientist but I’m going to go ahead and say with confidence that when you 80, your chances of not waking up are exponentially higher than someone younger.
