9. It's not the numerical age, it's the cognitive ability that matters

I've argued this innumerable times on Reddit (and been roundly downvoted for my views), but this is really the truth.

Compare the last interview with Feinstein (#1 on the list), in which she claimed that she had recently been present in the Senate (spoiler: she hadn't been), to this recent speech by Sanders (#3 on the list):

There is no comparison.

I'd venture to say that Sanders is sharper than many/most people on here; with all due respect, Feinstein is very close to seeming like the titular character in Weekend at Bernie's.
