Bernie Sanders, born September 8, 1941.

Hillary, born October 26, 1947

Elizabeth, aka SHE'S NOT RUNNING, Warren, born June 22, 1949

For some reason, after mocking McCain's age to bits in 2008, Democrats went a different direction in 2015.

So far, O'Malley is the only younger pebble on the beach. (January 18, 1963)

I believe that between 55 and 60 may be about the ideal age to run for President for the first time, but with an older vice President, along the lines of Obama/Biden.

But age alone is not stopping me from supporting the person I believe to be best candidate.
