(431 posts)The president is not a professional athlete lol. Hes not going to be shooting jump shots or running the ball up the middle of the field. Yes, it would be stressful but you can limit the travel, eat well. All kinds of remedies at the presidents finger tips.
Im saying if the candidate has most of the qualities youre looking for, healthy and attentive, why dismiss them because of what MIGHt happen?
Of course if the person is showing signs of mental issues or has some kind of disease, yes pass on them. Im talking about a healthy older person.
Everyone has skeletons in their closet. And by the time they start the election, all the journalists would have them vetted by then. During the primaries is when most of the dirt comes out. Everything we knew about Trump came out during the running of the election, not after he was elected. Before you run, thats your teams job to know any dirt the opponent can pull up on you. If there is something extreme, they make the decision not to run.
