who are being characterized as too old for the job. It sure would be a good thing to release complete physicals with emphasis on heart health and cat scans for signs possible age related brain changes. Maybe an extensive test of psychological fitness. A good report would draw a contrast to Trump and I believe it would end a lot of bullshit speculation.

(22,627 posts)It's not a deal breaker, but it is a concern and nobody has a right to tell me what my concerns should or should not be.
It's a flat out lie to claim that old age makes no difference in a person's stamina and cognitive abilities and I don't care how many people claim their granny died at 97 and was as sharp as a tack until the end.
So tests would be good to reassure those of us who are senior citizens and know that age makes a difference, but I doubt if any will do it.
