Ageism?
Reagan was the oldest elected POTUS. Seems to me that age is less of a factor than it used to be to those who are healthy. A female turning 70 is expected to live to 86. (Males to 82.) So short of physical or mental health issues there is no reason to doubt that abilities of the elderly. There have been Senators and Supreme Court justices who have ably served their nation in their senior years.
Exactly. Most of the rightwingers on this board who are against Hillary exhibit both ageism and sexism as well as hypocricy.
It really takes some sort of special level of intelligence to ferret out these nuggets of wisdom.
Bravo.
While it might cause your head to explode, you may consider that Republicans in general, and Right Wing Republicans in particular, will never exhibit any favorable attitude towards Hillary Clinton.

For those still with me, I'll continue to connect the dots:
Clinton needs to win INDEPENDENT, non-partisan VOTERS. When this group's favorability ratings decline, then she begins to worry:
Her favorability fell with the GOP, as it did with independents, after the September 2012 attacks on the U.S. compound in Benghazi, Libya. As Democratic elected officials continue to encourage her to run for president, her name has become further politicized, thus making her less favorable to non-Democrats.
Bottom Line
Hillary Clinton's era of higher favorability appears to be ending even before she announces whether she will run for president. Americans typically rate non-political figures higher than political ones on this measure, and her favorable ratings before, during, and after being secretary of state are consistent with that phenomenon
