If Trump wins, he would be the oldest president ever elected to a first term.

70 years 4 months

Reagan has the record at 69 years 349 days. Sanders would blow them away at 75.

Trump: June 14, 1946
GWB: July 6, 1946
Clinton: August 19, 1946

Never before in our history has three presidents been born in the same year. All within a span of slightly over two months, at that.

And I can't stand any of the three, including Clinton these days.
