Get the Hook

Let's consider all these geezers who want to become president of the United States of America (or who already are).  The over-70 crowd.  Has everyone in this wonderful country of ours gone completely bat-shit crazy to think for even one micro-second that people in that over-the-hill situation have the physical energy and mental acuity to supervise this, the largest and most complex organization in the world, at the level it deserves?  Come on people, now...

For everybody except Tiger Woods and Tom Brady the age 42 is where you peak.  You still look great and you are as smart as you will ever be.  Your past life experiences will guide you to good decisions for the rest of your trip but now the small erosions start in physical and mental ability.  By the time you are 70 years old your best performance days are way, way back there.

America is a diverse nation of millions of exceptional citizens, some more intelligent and talented than others. Our duty, as voters, is to choose our leaders from that pool of the gifted and at some point the really old ones should get out of the pool.  They need to grab a towel and a sturdy chair and start writing their book. To bring our country back from this train-wreck of an administration it will take a  leader with vigor who does not require hearing aids and lots of sleep.
