Hillary and Trump are both 70, FYI. Obama just turned 55. No matter who gets elected, their health is going to be an issue their whole term. The age of the candidates is also why I am predicting that the winner of this election will be a one-term president.

edit Hillary is 68. Point stands, that is old for someone to run and serve as President.

There's always Johnson, who is... 63... Which isn't really much better.

I really wish we'd had an "Obama" in the running this year. With next year being the first with a millennial voting majority, here's hoping that one will be a younger president.

If Kaine were to take over for Hillary, how do you think he'd do?

Not a clue. All I know about Kaine is that he seems like a 1950's Eisenhower Republican. He's left of our current center, hates the Citizen's United ruling, likes Dodd-Frank and otherwise seems like a moderate.

I'd hate as hell to be him of something happens to the first woman President and he has to take over.

I think the best thing about Kaine is that unlike Clinton, Trump, and Pence, I haven't heard a single bad thing whispered about him. That's not to say he's probably immune from criticism, but I think that's a pretty good sign.
