For Democrats, age is just a number
By Jen Psaki (Original source CNN)
“Is it possible for a senior citizen to be the Democratic nominee for President of the United States in 2020?

At the same time, their ascendancy is hardly a given. Remarkably, experience is often not an asset in campaigns. And presidential candidates who have less time in public life and elected office can create their own platform that is aligned with the electorate at the time without worrying it will conflict with their own record.
There are real challenges that older candidates face: their records, their ability to expand support and their instinctual understanding of modern forms of communicating.”
