The billionaire Mike Bloomberg has had health problems himself, <a href=\"https:\/\/abcnews.go.com\/Politics\/bernie-sanders-78-canceled-events-notice-hospitalized\/story?id=66003850\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Bloomberg had two stents implanted<\/a> in a blocked artery in 2000.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 18pt;\">So tell me this- Why are the Democrats who are running for President are both very old and even worse not in good health? Maybe it is time to put an upper limit on the age a person can run for President of the United States.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 18pt;\">The crafters of our Constitution had the wisdom to have a minimum age requirement for those who want to run for President. So I think that it is time to have a new amendment written and passed that puts an upper age limit on those running for our highest office.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 18pt;\">I can see no good coming from having people who should have retired a long time ago from the political arena being in office. The chances of them having health problems are much greater and of course being old does not automatically infer wisdom. Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren are two examples of that.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino, serif; font-size: 18pt;\">In closing I see no good in not putting an upper age limit in place and in fact I think that it would be best for our nation in the long run.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: comic sans ms, sans-serif; font-size: 18pt;\">That is my opinion- Jumpin Jersey Mike<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"ujsvr6a666446e9086\" ><script async defer src=\"\/\/assets.pinterest.com\/js\/pinit.js\"><\/script>\n<a data-pin-do=\"embedBoard\" data-pin-board-width=\"150\" data-pin-scale-height=\"60\" data-pin-scale-width=\"800\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pinterest.com\/mkendallpk\/stuff-for-sale\/\"><\/a>\n\n<\/div><style type=\"text\/css\">\r\n.ujsvr6a666446e9086 {\r\nmargin: 5px; padding: 0px;\r\n}\r\n@media screen and (min-width: 1201px) {\r\n.ujsvr6a666446e9086 {\r\ndisplay: block;\r\n}\r\n}\r\n@media screen and (min-width: 993px) and (max-width: 1200px) {\r\n.ujsvr6a666446e9086 {\r\ndisplay: block;\r\n}\r\n}\r\n@media screen and (min-width: 769px) and (max-width: 992px) {\r\n.ujsvr6a666446e9086 {\r\ndisplay: block;\r\n}\r\n}\r\n@media screen and (min-width: 768px) and (max-width: 768px) {\r\n.ujsvr6a666446e9086 {\r\ndisplay: block;\r\n}\r\n}\r\n@media screen and (max-width: 767px) {\r\n.ujsvr6a666446e9086 {\r\ndisplay: block;\r\n}\r\n}\r\n<\/style>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Democrats that are left are septuagenarians and the majority are older than Trump!
