(42,862 posts)It's a valid thing to consider. Along with personality and temperament... and whether or not he (or she) has a proven track record of being able to work well with others and an ability to compromise, work together and find common ground that promote mutual interests for the benefit of everyone.
I would be very suspicious of any candidate who would promise to release his (or her) complete health records and then go back on that promise. If something like that happened, it would make me wonder if there's something that's being hidden that he (or she) doesn't want me to know about.
One of the things I'll be considering when deciding who gets my vote is: Are they healthy enough to serve for EIGHT YEARS (two full terms)? I'm really not interested in voting for a place-holder president who'll be one-and-done... assuming that he or she is able to finish one.
That's important to me. And I'm sure I'm not the only one who feels that way.
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
