EDIT in response to your EDIT: FWIW--you should acknowledge the fact that you edited your "HLC" to read "HRC" after I pointed it out. To not do so is a bit disingenuous. Anyone who clicks on your red edit link will see it, so you might as well be upfront and acknowledge the correction.
It's one thing to start your Presidential term in your sixties, and finish out your second term in your seventies.
It's quite a different thing to start your Presidential term in your seventies, and finish in your eighties.
And that isn't "moot" at all.
Last time I checked, Hillary Rodham Clinton--that would be "HRC" if we are abbreviating--is the best kind of Democrat. She's the kind that raised money to put Democratic and Progressive asses in seats in Congress. If you don't believe me, go on over to OPEN SECRETS and find out where the money she raised for her HILLPAC went.
She's given more money to Democrats than you can shake a stick at. So if you're going to wag your finger and say she's not a Democrat, you're going to need to do a little fund raising and support Democrats at least one one-millionth as well as she has done before I will ascribe any credibility whatsoever to your rantings.
Here, let me make it easy for you--have a look at this:

Bernie was the recipient of HILLPAC money--ain't that an inconvenient truth!
But hey...I should listen to you? I don't think so. You don't even know the woman's name, so why should I imagine you know anything more about her?
And let me edit one more time, because you misstated how old she'd be if she were elected in 2016. She will be sixty nine, not seventy, when she takes the oath.
