If I were 68 years old

[Applan]

If I were 68 years old I would hope I'd be as fit and healthy as Hillary. She has incredible stamina and strength. I'm a mere whipper snapper at 54 but can't imagine living her incredibly busy schedule. Fuck knows how she keeps going.

She's amazing!

1. And she's been going w/pneumonia, which is doubly-tough

5. Yes

Indeed I just read that myself. Get well soon Hilary.

2. She is!

3. Exactly

4. Agree!

7. Well, I am 68.

And I'm completely envious of her fitness. She's strong in the right ways. She'll be fine.

8. I got to see Hillary in person in the Spring,

she oozes energy.

10. I agree.

11. I'm 68 and very active, but quite sure I couldn't keep up with Hillary.

Also, I think I would have slapped Matt Lauer right across his smug face.

12. I'm finding it very hard to admire someone who ignores doctors orders

about resting and seems to think that soldiering on through, despite pneumonia, is somehow a good thing.

Campaigning is brutal. Being President is no picnic. She should be guarding her health and her stamina very closely.

13. I am 68 and I do require a short 25-30 minute nap every afternoon.

14. Questions from a Canadian so don't bite my head off.

What would happen if Hillary was unable to continue as a candidate? Would Tim Kaine automatically become the nominee? Has anything like that happened in the past in the run-up to an election?
