I’ve known people in that age that are mentally intact. There’s been a few celebrities that seem intact even into their 90s like Dick Van Dyke or Betty White. There was a guy at worked I only communicated with by text and assumed he was my age as we worked on an issue. Turned out he was 84. It was announced that he was leaving and I assumed he was going to retire, but no, he got a job elsewhere for a raise…
Certainly that video featured a man far more deteriorated than most anyone I’ve known in their 70s.
Problem is mostly the voters voting for a letter (R or D) and frequently not even paying attention to the specific person.
Well there’s age limits v. term limits.
I think term limits are definitely reasonable, regardless of age. We don’t need one person in a specific government role indefinitely.
Age limits, I’m kind of inclined to agree that would be hard to pin down. Frankly 73 is a bit young in my experience to be as far gone as John Kennedy seemed to be. Certainly it drops off and drops off suddenly at some point for people, but you do have people into their 90s with their cognition intact. Bernie Sanders is in his 80s and he seems mentally still there.
