Trump was born in 1946, the same year as Bill Clinton and George W. Bush.

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

If he wins (as horrible a thought as that is), it would mark the first time in our history where we've ever had three presidents born in the same year. All born within a little over two months from each other, at that. And I can't stand any of the three. These were the best representations of their age group that we could find?

We've had other instances of presidents being born in the same year, but never any more than two.

Jackson: March 15, 1767
J.Q. Adams: July 11, 1767

Grant: April 27, 1822
Hayes: October 4, 1822

Nixon: January 9, 1913
Ford: July 14, 1913

G.H.W. Bush: June 12, 1924
Carter: October 1, 1924

This is just something I find sort of interesting.

no matter who is elected. Sanders would be the oldest President to assume office. Trump would be older than Reagan, and Clinton would be a few months shy of Reagan.

He's a power-hungry stage hog and his unwillingness to allow the party to move on from him and his wife irritates the shit out of me.

I can't stand the Clintons. I've never liked them. They represent everything that's wrong with politics.
