Jimmy Carter on running for president: 'I hope there's an age limit'
Soon to be 95, Jimmy Carter basically says Biden and Sanders are too old to run, and I can't really say I don't disagree with him. For one thing I wouldn't vote for Biden if he was 60, and as much as I love Bernie, in the last debate he looked tired, angry and a little impatient with his answers (understandably, on that stage ). Being president takes a tremendous amount of energy which , frankly not many 80 year old's have.
Speaking at the Carter Center in Atlanta, former President Jimmy Carter said he would not have been able to handle the rigors of the presidency at the age of 80.
Carter had been asked jokingly if he would run again in 2020, reported the Associated Press.
"I hope there’s an age limit," Carter replied with a laugh. "If I were just 80 years old, if I was 15 years younger, I don’t believe I could undertake the duties I experienced when I was president."
